Lyrics

  1. Left alone and blue
    Broken hearted, too
    You’re still on my mind
    I believed in you
    Thought that you’d be true
    But instead I find

Chorus
You never meant your kisses
And your caresses, too
I hate myself for falling in love with you
To think you’d be unfaithful
When I was so true blue
I hate myself for falling in love with you
I never thought that you would leave me
That you’d deceive me, you played a game
I should have known the night I kissed you
I couldn’t resist you
Was I to blame?
I guess I’m only human
What else was there to do
I hate myself for falling in love with you

  1. All my life I dreamed
    All my life it seemed
    Fate had been unkind
    I lived in the past
    Then love came at last
    Only dear, to find
