Oh time after time, after time, after time

Oh I had a date with maggie lou
I thought we'd be along
I took her hand and just began
To make myself at home
When suddenly her ma and pa
Came into watch TV
It has happened to me many times before

Oh time after time, after time, after time

I was riding one day in my model eight
With suzie by my side
When a smiling jack in a cadillac
Says how's about a ride?'
She said hello and before I knew
She had slid right out the door
It has happened to me many times before

Oh time after time, after time, after time

Now romance and me could not agree
Things went from bad to worse
Until I met sweet betty jean
And betty broke the curse
Now every night she holds me tight
And looks into my eyes
Then puckers up her ruby lips
And sighs

Oh time after time, after time, after time
