You take a little cheatin' here and a little cheatin' there
Stay out late with a new date
Have a little cheer with another round of beer
That's the recipe for a heartache
Well, you tell the little gal you're with an old pal
Who's celebrating his new namesake
It's not a new birth but a gal that's worth
Another chance on the heartache
Well, an old girlfriend happens in
Your office without a warning
The good times start with an old sweetheart
And you don't get home till morning
You can't deny your wife's reply
Your lipstick isn't on straight
You're gonna hear a holler 'bout the red on your collar
That's the recipe for a heartache
ย
Well, you take a slow train and not a jet plane
Because you wanna go on a Pullman
There's a gal you gotta see in apartment B
And you really think that you have pulled a cool one
Coming home from a trip, your wife is her lips
A-waiting at the door all puckered
You got a real recipe for a heartache to be
If you crawl in bed all tuckered
If your wife is leery, when you say "Dearie
I gotta make a fast connection"
Assure your pet that it's a jet
With turbine fuel injection
You took Lorraine down the country lane
Your wife caught you in the canebrake
You couldn't explain about raising Cain
And that's the recipe for a heartache
So live it up, don't give it up
If misery's your favorite cup
Then lead this life, lose your wife
That's the recipe for a heartache
ย
Well, there it is, friends. Thank you so very much
