Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(When a man just can't be trusted)
(And again he's gone and lost it)
[Verse 2]
Your call has been registered
It'll be returned when I get back home
I've been out lovin' all night long
I can't help it that loves makes me strong
(When a man just can't be trusted)
[Verse 3]
(And again)
(He's gone and lost it)
Yeah, now
[Verse 4]
Ask me all the questions you need
I don't tell lies, my conscience don't bleed
You'll get all the time I can give
As long as you respect my freedom to live
[Verse 5]
(When a man just can't be trusted) Woo, hoo, hoo, yeah
Well, it's my middle name
(And again he's gone and lost it) Infidelity
Infidelity
Hey, yeah
(Just can't be, just can't be, just can't be, just can't be)
No, I can't
(Just can't be, just can't be, just can't be, just can't be)
[Verse 6]
A kick in the ribs for the arrival late at night
So late in the evening you could see the morning light
When you're sat up alone and you wonder where I've been
You can pick up my belongings and tell me where I can take them
[Verse 7]
(When a man just can't be trusted) Woo, hoo, hoo, yeah
Oh, it's my middle name
(And again he's gone and lost it) Infidelity
Infidelity
(When a man just can't be trusted) Woo, hoo, hoo, yeah
Ah, Lord, I'm a sinner, now
(And again he's gone and lost it) Infidelity
Ah, I just can't be trusted, now
(Just can't be, just can't be, just can't be, just can't be)
No, I can't
(Just can't be, just can't be, just can't be, just can't be)
No, I can't
(Just can't be, just can't be, just can't be, just can't be)
No
(Just can't be, just can't be, just can't be, just can't be)
No
[Verse 8]
Yeah, come on
(Infidelity)
Ah, stoop me down, yeah
(Infidelity)
Woo, now, yeah
(Infidelity)
