Verse:

I found out something, that got me thinking
You thought I’d miss it, if I was blinking
You kept a secret, you were so uncool
You’d better realize, that you were a fool

Chorus:

One strike against you darling, before you hit the road
Better give it up now baby, ‘cause you’ve been told
I ain’t no angel, but you ain’t no saint
‘Cause one more strike against you darling, and I won’t hesitate

Verse:

I don’t have to tell you, that you’ve crossed the line
And boy you know it, it’s just a matter of time
You kept a secret, oh you were so uncool
I’m telling you baby, don’t be a fool

Chorus:

One strike against you darling, before you hit the road
Better give it up now baby, ‘cause you’ve been told
I ain’t no angel, but you ain’t no saint
‘Cause one more strike against you darling, and I won’t hesitate

Bridge:

If you got wild oats to sow, You better let me know
I don’t want to hold you up, ‘Cause you’re free to go

Final Chorus:

One strike against you darling, before you hit the road
Better give it up now baby, ‘cause you’ve been told
I ain’t no angel, but you ain’t no saint
‘Cause one more strike against you darling, and I won’t hesitate
