Lyrics

  1. You said goodbye, I wonder why
    And our romance was through
    You didn’t care what sorrows I’d bear
    ‘Twas all in fun with you

Chorus
I don’t know why I should cry over you
Sigh over you, even be blue
I should have known that you’d leave me alone
And break my heart in two
Although you have left me alone to pine
And all of my love was a waste of time
Some day your heart will be broken like mine
So why should I cry over you?

  1. All of my dreams faded it seems
    Just like the morning dew
    And ev’ry plan that we both began
    Has all been shattered, too
