Lyrics

Lyrics:
First verse
There's no use to speak any love words to me, There's no use to take any vow. I've felt all along that something was wrong, Your eyes seem to show it somehow;
Chorus
You know you belong to somebody else, So why don't you leave me alone. You know someone else has a claim to your heart, And you should consider before you start I know you're not true and you'd fool me too, The same as you're fooling the one who loves you. You know you belong to somebody else, So why don't you leave me alone.
Second verse
There's no use to plead any longer with me, There's no use to sigh or to cry. But you're not sincere there's someone more dear, Who loves you far better than I;
(Chorus)
