His letter came
this mornin' C.O.D.
Says he's found somebody
who reminds him of me
He says he needs some space
Well that might be the case
He wasn't even man enough
to tell me to my face
I got the rompin'
stompin' bad news blues
He stole my money
He stole my time
When he stole my heart
honey he really
crossed that line
A major felony
Send out APB
Go tell that evil heart
to bring it on back to me
I got the rompin'
stompin' bad news blues
You'll come tonight
I'm steppin' out
Gonna sing and dance
Gonna shake and shout
Forget about
ol' what's his name
You know that two can
play this game
Whatever it takes to lose
these rompin'
stompin' bad news blues
Oh men are full of trouble
Girl that ain't nothin' new
We ain't found nothin' better
and until the day we do
Sister friend be wise
Just realize
Stay away from the ones
who do you wrong
and tell you lies
They'll give the rompin'
stompin' bad news blues
That's right they'll give you
the rompin'
stompin' bad news blues
