Lyrics
- You ask me why I’m so downhearted
Why I am sad and dreary, too
You say it’s quite a while
Since you have seen me smile
Well, I’ll just tell you
Why I feel so blue, I’m
Chorus
Mad ’cause you treat me this way
Mad at the mean things you say
You did a lot that I wouldn’t do to you
You nearly broke my heart in two over you
What’ll you do some day?
I’ll do the same thing to you
You will be blue
If I should leave you, grieve you
You’ll be sorry that you made me mad at you
- You look at me and say you’re sorry
Well I don’t need your sympathy
It’s plain enough to see
That you don’t care for me
You’ll wake up some day
And you’ll find that I am
