I heard from the angels
There’s a room at the top
A dirty five dollars
They called it a flop
If lyin’s on special, and cheatin’s a steal
Then give her my lovin’, to sweeten’ the deal

She took all my money
And spent all my tears
The lawyer said settle
And forget the years
If lyin’s on special, and cheatin’s a steal
Just give her my lovin’, to sweeten the deal

            She gave me the light of days
            I gave her tomorrows
            She told me she’d find a way
            To ease all her sorrows
            Then one day my blood ran cold
            And I knew I must see her
            But when I came home
            She wasn’t alone

I heard from the angels
That there’s room at the top
For lovin’ and carin’
They don’t ever stop
If lyin’s on special, then cheatin’s a steal
But don’t give me heaven, to sweeten the deal

            (optional last verse)
They say there’s a penny
For every love that’s gone wrong
If I had that penny
I wouldn’t have this here song
But I’ll sing it for someone
Who thinks their love is for real
I’ll sing it for anyone
Just to sweeten the deal
