[ country ] Treatin’ me like a royal queen an’ promisin’ to take care of my needs He stood out like a rare wild flower in a field of untamed weeds With almost perfect manners and the way he fills those designer clothes Everyone says he’s drop-dead gorgeous, what’s inside Lord only knows He’s my dandy lyin’ darlin’and all he does is lie to me Everybody’s good at somethin’, lyin’ is his specialty He lies an’ cheats an’ lies about it, multiplies my sorrow My dandy’s lyin’ here with me tonight, but no doubt, he’s gone tomorrow Guess I should have been like the rest an’ stayed away from certain harm Married a fine young man from home on a hard workin’ family’s farm But my dandy lyin’ darlin’ swept me off my country feet Now I’m slavin’ in a city factory an’ can barely afford to eat He’s my dandy lyin’ darlin’, never kept a job in his life Dependant on his mamma, co-dependant on me, his wife He lies an’ cheats an’ lies about it, multiplies my sorrow My dandy’s lyin’ here with me tonight, but no doubt, he’s gone tomorrow All those slick magazines try’n tell us how to pick the right man But if you knew my dandy lyin’ darlin’, you’d likely never believe one again He’s my dandy lyin’ darlin’, all he ever does is lie Usually stays out half the night, always has an alibi He lies an’ cheats an’ lies about it, multiplies my sorrow My dandy’s lyin’ here with me tonight, but no doubt, he’s gone tomorrow His stuff’s out in the yard, hope he has to beg, lie, cheat, steal an’ borrow My dandy’s lyin’ here with me tonight, but no doubt, he’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone. . . gone tomorrow
