Lyrics
Hey Baby, your cheatin' days are thru
I said, Hey Baby, I've eaten all the dirt for you
I've given you all my heart
Now it's broke in two
Hey Baby, I wonder if it's true
I said, Hey Baby, all the trouble I've been havin' with you
Is it the fact
That I've been goin out on you
CHORUS:
Mutual crimes and mutual lies
There's no place to wear a disguise
Mutual crimes is a mutual sin
Mutual crimes will do you in
In deep, deep shit, yeah
Hey Baby, we've spun a spider web for two
I said, Hey Baby, we've set this game up to lose
All the things you've done to me
I've done to you
CHORUS
Hey Baby, been thinkin' 'bout what to do
I said, Hey Baby, spill your guts or Baby we're thru
If we can't get straight
What the hell will we do
CHORUS
