Well I told all my friends I got lucky

That I finally met love of my life

I shouted aloud how I was so proud

But also to taunt my ex-wife

Well I thought that I′d bagged me a winner

The money was counted and stacked

But I found her in bed with Jack and then Fred

She was a favourite, that everyone backed

I put the ring on her finger

Like I'd bagged me a cert

As I put the ′I' into naive

And she put the 'H′ into hurt

Love liftin′ me so high

Pushed me down in the dirt

When I put the 'I′ into naive

And she put the 'H′ into hurt

Well I pulled to one side my dear children

And I showed them her face on the phone

"Daddy" they said "go get yourself wed"

"Or you're spending your lifetime alone"

Well I spent a year wining and dining

Now I have to go back and I′ll say

Love comes and goes and it dies like a rose

And you have to go throw it away

I put the ring on her finger

Like I'd bagged me a cert

As I put the 'I′ into naive

And she put the ′H' into hurt

Love liftin′ me so high

Pushed me down in the dirt

When I put the 'I′ into naive

And she put the 'H′ into hurt

He put the 'G' into gullible

And also the ′G′ into green

The 'S′ into shame

The 'D′ into dumb

The 'F′ into fool that I've been

The 'F′ into fool that I′ve been

I put the ring on her finger

Like I'd bagged me a cert

As I put the ′I' into naive

And she put the ′H' into hurt

Love liftin′ me so high

Pushed me down in the dirt

When I put the 'I' into naive

And she put the ′H′ into hurt
