Lyrics
- 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?
- 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)
