Never let your left hand know what your right hand's doin'
Anytime you do there should be trouble brewin'
You may think two-timin' is a dangerous sport
But there's no harm in cheatin' if you don't get caught
Never let your left hand know what your right hand's doin'

Never let your left hand know what your right hand's doin'
Anytime you do there should be trouble brewin'
There's two easy ways to get yourself in dutch
Both of them is shooting off your mouth too much
Never let your left hand know what your right hand's doin'

Never let your left hand know what your right hand's doin'
Anytime you do there should be trouble brewin'
Never call the boss you're feeling sick or lame
Cause someone's bound to see at the baseball game
Never let your left hand know what your right hand's doin'

Never let your left hand know what your right hand's doin'
Anytime, anytime you do there should be trouble brewin'
If you got a gal that you're really wild about
Don't tell everybody, they'll cut you out
Never let your left hand know what your right hand's doin'
