Some kid I met today made mention of your name.
He told me that he'd seen you at the local fun and games.
He said you laughed, when he asked about my health;
He told me your arrived alone and split with someone else.
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that,
Tell me that you - just didn't think about it.
You wouldn't do that, couldn't do that,
Tell me that it - just didn't cross your mind.
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that,
Tell me that you - just didn't think about it,
Not you...
So I called you on your private telephone;
I was told politely that my lady was not home.
She was somewhere foreign, having fun.
If I left my name and number, something might be done.
You wouldn't do that, couldn't do that,
Tell me that you - just didn't think about it.
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that,
Tell me that it - just didn't cross your mind.
You wouldn't do that, couldn't do that,
Tell me that you - just didn't think about it,
Not you, not me, not you, not me...

And so I told my friend about your goings on.
He told me he was not surprised to find that you had gone,
'Cause he'd seen you at the airport with your ticket in your hand;
Leaving me to dangle like a yo-yo in your hand.
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that,
Tell me that you - just didn't think about it.
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that,
Tell me that it - just didn't cross your mind.
You wouldn't do that, couldn't do that,
Tell me that you - just didn't think about it,
Oo, not you...

You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that,
Tell me that you - just didn't think about it,
Couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't, couldn't, wouldn't do it to me;
Couldn't shouldn't wouldn't, couldn't, should not do it to a dog.
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that,
Tell me that you - just didn't think about it.
You wouldn't do that, couldn't do it,
Tell me that you - just didn't think about it.
You wouldn't do that, couldn't do that,
Tell me that you - just didn't think about it
Would not do that to me.
