He'll let you live a little love a little
Then you'll wake and he'll be gone

I know your old love's back in town and knocking on your door
One more time this old heart is filled with pain
Cause I know you'll let him in just like you did before
And I know that he'll sweet-talk you back again

He'll let you live a little love a little
Just like before he'll lead you on
He'll make you cry a little die a little
Then you'll wake and he'll be gone
[ steel - fiddle ]
I know he's gonna take my place in that small cafe
There where you and I met time and time again
I know that he don't really want you he just wants to play
But I know that he'll sweet-talk you back again

He'll let you live a little love a little...
