The only thing I trust is not to trust the girls at all

The only thing I trust is not to trust the girls at all,
for once I knew to trust them when their solemn oaths they swore.
The only thing I know is that I know nothing at all.

There once was lovely Katina, in whom in love I'd fall,
who swore to me she'd never leave, yet walked right out the door.
The only thing I trust is not to trust the girls at all.

And Sandy once admonished me, for she was so appalled,
when I declared her love declared was rather either or.
The only thing I know is that I know nothing at all.

I know Katina left because a life abroad had called,
but Sandy almost dumped me when my trust in her had torn.
The only thing I trust is not to trust the girls at all,

for when so sheepishly I said I'm sorry for the gall
to doubt her love with little trust, it's then my heart she gored.
The only thing I know is that I know nothing at all,

for when I trust I know their trust, I trust that I will fall,
as female words in swearing oaths are sounds to be abhorred.
The only thing I trust is not to trust the girls at all.
The only thing I know is that I know nothing at all.
