I've got a story (story) 
 
 I've got a story that i wanna tell you 
 
 I've got a story about a boy i know 
 
 Who gave all his love to a girl i know 
 
 And said that she wouldn't have to worry 
 
 No more (no more) no more (no more) 
 
  
  Now he was so faithful (faithful) 
 
 Really faithful to his love you see  
 
 But she was so ungrateful 
 
 When she took his love and went out every night 
 
 With some other guy; she knew that wasn't right 
 
 Now she's sorry 
 
 But it's too late, oh it's much too late (too late) 
  
 
 (2x): 
 
 When he left her she cried 
 
 Tears fell from her eyes 
 
 Had she known she loved him so 
 
 She never would have let him go 
 
 Now it was me (me) 
 
 It was me who lost a real true lover 
 
 So you see 
 
 If you've got a love that's really true to you 
 
 From my story, you know just what to do 
 
 You'd better love him or treat him good or treat him right 
  
 
 Hold him tight, talk to him right, all day and night
