What are you to do, when you have been misled
When somebody lied, played with your head
Wonder did they believe, the things that you said
Or were they mistaken, in the things that they read

I met someone, gave her all of my pearls
She was the one, out of one billion girls
How would I know, that she would turn bad
When I thought she was the best, that I had ever had

Was I really, just a naive old man
Just getting along alone, as best as I can
She brought something in my life, for which I had not planned
And tortured me with words, that I did not understand

She was so quick, to jump into my bed
I was not there, someone else in my stead
I fell to my knees, without God I pled
But the only color I was seeing,
was simply red

The fact is my heart, had just been caged
It would not matter how much, I ranted or raged
For less than my pleasure, this whole thing had been staged
I failed to get the message, I was not even paged

And then of course, it came to that day
The one where she walked in, and then walked away
She was the heartless one,  That's the role she would play
And it left me for evermore to stand, on my feet of clay...
