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 don't ever 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 won't ever get smart
I should be better, but I'm worse
