It don't pay to be lonely
It don't pay to be blue
It don't pay to love someone
When they don't love you
It don't pay, I said-a it don't pay
Well, I don't wanted you to be lonely
I don't wanted us to be blue
I don't wanted to love someone
When they don't love you
It don't pay, I said-a it don't pay

Well, when you love, use your head
Don't love with all of your heart
Then you won't be crying
After the broken heart
I said-a it don't pay, said it don't pay
Well, it don't pay, said-a it don't pay

When you're heart's been broken
And nobody thinks of you
Make a search for true love
It don't pay to be blue
It don't pay, I said-a it don't pay

When you love, use your head
Don't love with all of your heart
Then you won't be crying
After the broken heart
I said-a it don't pay, said it don't pay
Well, it don't pay, said-a it don't pay
Said-a it don't pay
Said-a it don't pay
Said-a it don't pay
