Oh the taste of wine and liquor and a woman's tender kiss
Sure paints the perfect picture that's so hard to resist
Though the lure of the old night life has always tempted fools
It can't compare with what you stand to lose
Chorus:
Remember the Promise you wear on your left hand
Cheatin's no companion for a real lady's man
If only I had listened to my own words of advice
And turned down the invitation in another woman's eyes
For the softness of a stranger, I threw good love away
Friend there ain't no higher price to pay
