Hometown sweetheart
Hung around in the dark
Only make a move or two
I was just a young fool
Never been to night school
Didn't know enough to be cool
So he found another lover
They went undercover
The way he stole my love was a crime
In order to keep the peace
Callin' out the police
Find him 'for I lose my mind
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
A complete investigation
What's his destination
Did he leave a trace at all
Book him on suspicion
Just look at my condition
He left me here to take the fall
That boy can surely play it rough
He oughta be in handcuffs
Make him wear a ball and chain
Oh he's just a heart stealer
Sweetest kind o' love dealer
He knows how to fix a game
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
Lonely heart in distress
Sending out an S.O.S
All across the U.S. of A
Come on back and serve your time
Right her in these arms of mine
Gotta have you home today
FBI CID help me help me help me please
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
Hung around in the dark
Only make a move or two
I was just a young fool
Never been to night school
Didn't know enough to be cool
So he found another lover
They went undercover
The way he stole my love was a crime
In order to keep the peace
Callin' out the police
Find him 'for I lose my mind
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
