His letter came this morning
C.O.D.
Says he`s found somebody
Who reminds him of me
He says he needs some space
That might be the case
Wasn`t even man enough
To tell me to my face
I got the rompin`, stompin`
Bad news blues
He stole my money
He stole my time
When he stole my heart
Honey, he really crossed that line
A major felony
Send out an A.P.B.
Go tell that thief of hearts
To bring it on back to me
I got the rompin`, stompin`
Bad news blues
Well, come tonight
I`m steppin` out
Gonna sing and dance
Gonna shake and shout
Forget about ol` what`s his name
You know two can play this game
Whatever it takes to lose
These rompin`, stompin`
Bad news blues
Well, men are full of trouble
Girl, that ain`t nothin` new
We ain`t found nothin` better
And until the day we do
Sister friend, be wise
Just realize
Stay away from the ones
Who`ll do you wrong and tell you lies
They`ll give you the rompin`, stompin`
Bad news blues
That`s right
They`ll give you the rompin`, stompin`
Bad news blues
