Lyrics:
First verse
You said goodbye, I wonder why, And our romance was through, You didn't care what sorrows I'd bear, Twas all in fun with you.
Chorus
I don't know why I should cry over you, sigh over you, even be blue, I should have known that you'd leave me alone, And break my heart in two; Although you have left me alone to pine, And all of my love was a waste of time, Some day your heart will be broken like mine, So why should I cry over you? I don't know why I should cry over you, sigh over you, even be blue, I should have known that you'd leave me alone, And break my heart in two; Although you have left me alone to pine, And all of my love was a waste of time, Some day your heart will be broken like mine, So why should I cry over you?
Second verse
All of my dreams faded it seems, Just like the morning dew, And ev'ry plan that we both began, Has all been shattered too.
(Chorus)
