Lyrics
- There’s no use to speak any love words to me
There’s no use to take any vow
I’ve felt all along that something was wrong
Your eyes seem to show it somehow
Chorus
You know you belong to somebody else
So why don’t you leave me alone
You know someone else has a claim to your heart
And you should consider before you start
I know you’re not true and you’d fool me too
The same as you’re fooling the one who loves you
You know you belong to somebody else
So why don’t you leave me alone
- There’s no use to plead any longer with me
There’s no use to sigh or to cry
But you’re not sincere there’s someone more dear
Who loves you far better than I
