So now you want the whole world to notice that you've come around
Now you expect we'll see how you're really so much better now
But I know the truth, I won't waste my youth

On a cad and a bounder, a dog and a cheat
All the lives that you've had, all the hearts you eat
You're a rascal and a rogue, a villain and a crook
Still I tug at your line, I'm a fish on your hook
I should be better, but I'm worse

What's the point pretending that you could be a better man?
Just give in, since you always end up right back where you began
Still I know the truth, but I have a sweet tooth

For a cad and a bounder, a dog and a cheat
All the lives that you've had, all the hearts you eat
You're a rascal and a rogue, a villain and a crook
Still I tug at your line, I'm a fish on your hook
You're rash and you're hasty, you're reckless with my heart
Still I wait by the phone, I will never get smart
I should be better, but I'm worse

Still I know the truth, but I have a sweet tooth

For a cad and a bounder, a dog and a cheat
All the lives that you've had, all the hearts you eat
You're a rascal and a rogue, a villain and a crook
Still I tug at your line, I'm a fish on your hook
You're rash and you're hasty, you're reckless with my heart
Still I wait by the phone, I will never get smart
I should be better, but I'm worse
