Lyrics
Love, you didn’t do right by me
You planned a romance
That just hadn’t a chance and I’m through
Love, you didn’t do right by me
I’m back on the shelf
And I’m blaming myself, but it’s you
My one love affair
Didn’t get anywhere from the start
To send me a Joe who had winter and snow
In his heart wasn’t smart
Love, you didn’t do right by me
As they say in the song, “You done me wrong”
Love, you didn’t do right by me
You planned a romance
That just hadn’t a chance and I’m through
Love, you didn’t do right by me
I’m back on the shelf
And I’m blaming myself, but it’s you
My one love affair
Didn’t get anywhere from the start
To send me a Jane who had thunder and rain
In her heart wasn’t smart
Love, you didn’t do right by me
As they say in the song, “You done me wrong”
