When you just give love, and never get love,
You’d better let love depart.

I know it’s so, and still I know,
I can’t get you out of my heart.

You made me leave my happy home.
You took my love, and now you’ve gone,
Since I fell for you …

My life has been such misery and pain.
I guess I’ll never be the same,
Since I fell for you …

Well it’s too bad, and it’s too sad,
That I’m in love with you …

When you love me, and then you snub me.
But what can I do, I’m still in love with you.

I guess I’ll never see the light.
I get these blues most every night,
Since I fell for you …

Well it’s too bad, and it’s too sad,
That I’m in love with you…

When you love me, and then you snub me.
But what can I do, I’m still in love with you.

I guess I’ll never see the light.
I get those blues most every night,
Since I fell for you …

Since you loved me, then you snubbed me
I prayed you put no one above me
Now I’m black and blue since I fell for you

Since I fell for you, for you, yeah
