Now honey I just can't be true
I got a rambling feeling in my shoes
My heart tells me that I'm the roving kind
Well my feet start itching more and more
Every time a pretty girl passed my door
So good gal here's what I want to do

I wanna play the field and lead a happy life
Without a thought of worry or a nagging wife
Let's settle this thing and say we're through
Cause honey baby I just can't be true

If I loved you like I know I really should
Well I wanna be good yes I know I would
But I just can't seem to ever wanna stay at home
I hate to hurt your feelings and I hope I don't
If you feel like me then I'm sure I won't
I've got a mind of my own and I know just what I want

I wanna play the field and lead a happy life
Without a thought of worry or a care in sight
Let's settle this thing and say we're through
Cause honey baby I just can't be true
