Let me tell you ‘bout a girl I know
She satisfied my soul and filled my bowl
She fed me heart, spooned love my way
Till the day she took her dish away
And she put me on
A heartbreak diet
Lunch is cheatin’ and dinner’s lyin
I ain’t eatin’, been busy cryin’ oh yeah
On a heartbreak diet
She used to bring me breakfast in bed
She liked some sausage with her bread
Her dumplings and gravy they were the best
Then she started feedin’ all the rest
Ad she put me on
A heartbreak diet
Lunch is cheatin’ and dinner’s lyin
I ain’t eatin’, been busy cryin’ oh yeah
You know that I used to weigh, a hundred and eighty-eight
Then someone stole her lovin’ from my plate
Now I’m losin’ pounds every day
On a heartbreak diet
You know my clothes they don’t fit no more
Ain’t been down to the Gen’ral Store
Cupboard’s been empty since the day
She said I weren’t the only meal on her tray
And she put me on
A heartbreak diet
A kettle a cheatin’ and a pot o’ lyin
No time for food, too busy cryin’
Ten pounds of tears, but they ain’t dryin’
The girls they feed me, but I’m not buyin’
I got nothin’ in my pan a fryin’
I said nothin’ in my pan a fryin’ oh yeah
On a heartbreak diet
On a heartbreak diet
On a heartbreak diet
On a heartbreak diet
