Guilty concience
Eddie Cochran · Other Songs - Eddie Cochran
Honey when you hold someone new
When you look into his eyes and tell him all those lies
Honey don't your concience bother you
Don't your concience bother you when your hear my name
Knowin' how you hurt your darlin'
Should fill your heart with shame
Guilty concience, guilty concience
Honey don't your concience bother you
Guilty concience, don't you have a guilty concience
When you hold another in my place
When you're walkin' by his side, dear are you satisfied
Or does a guilty concience bother you
I still remember all the things you said that wasn't true
And when you're holding someone else don't you remember too
Guilty concience, guilty concience
Honey don't your concience bother you
Guilty concience, don't you have a guilty concience
Honey when you hold someone new
When you know that it is smart, you jump from heart to heart
Honey don't your concience bother you
You told me once that you would love me till eternity
And now you're tellin' someone else the same as you told me
Guilty concience, guilty concience
Don't a guilty concience bother you
