Retreat (Cries My Heart)

I once heard that, in the city
Guys were slick and awful witty
So I roamed into town
Lookin' for a real, swell honey
Loaded down with foldin' money
To show me all around, around

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" cries my heart
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" cries my heart

You're a high falutin' dandy
With your flowers and your candy
To melt my heart away
Loved your hugs and loved your kisses
Even thought, I'd be your missus
But my heart seemed to say, "Don't play"

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!", cries my heart
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!", cries my heart

Last night, I saw you dancin' with a stranger
My heart hollered, "Look out, danger"
"Go away and let me be"
Just like a fattened, hound dog, chasin' rabbits
You made me a doggone habit
But rabbits, get away, away

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!", cries my heart
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!", cries my heart

Even though, my pulse increases
I ain't signin' any leases
You've made it plain to see
Love is somethin', we all pine for
But a license, I won't sign for
You can't be true, to me

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!", cries my heart
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!", cries my heart
