Lyrics

  1. Fickle heart, goodbye
    So long, butterfly
    You have made me cry
    Tears that will not dry
    Pleasant dreams, adieu
    Pleasant dreams to you
    There are other fools to take
    And other hearts to break
    (But tell me)

Refrain
Who’ll be the next one to cry over you?
Who’ll be the next one to sigh over you?
You’ve broken one heart
And you will break two
For breaking hearts is the best thing you do
And tell me who’ll be the next one
To look in your eyes
And love you the same as I do?
I know that I was the last one
But who’ll be the next one to cry over you?

  1. You have said boodye
    There’s a reason why
    You are not to blame
    I love you the same
    Still I must confess
    Much happiness
    It’s your nature, that is true
    That’s why I say to you
    (Please tell me)
