Lyrics
- All the world seems wrong
The nights are long as can be
Days are dreary, too
I spend the hours sighing
Can’t stop crying
Nothing seems the same
And you’re to blame for it all
There are times when I
Even wish that I could die
Chorus
Look! what you’ve done
With your doggone dangerous eyes
You’ve had your fun
Maybe some day you’ll realize
You spoke of love with every glance
And then you spoiled our sweet romance
You’re smiling now because I’m sighing
I’ll do the laughing when you’re crying
How you deceived with your doggone dangerous eyes
How I believed
And you fooled me all the while
If I could just stop thinking of you
Tell me why did you want to make me love you?
Look! what you’ve done
With your doggone dangerous eyes
- I remember when
You’d phone at ten every morn
Every night you’d call
You used to treat me dandy
Bring me candy
You were like a kid
The things you did made me laugh
What a change today
Do you wonder why I say
