Lyrics
- The night you left me
You might have told me
We’d never meet again
You didn’t worry, you aren’t sorry
You should have told me then
Chorus:
It made you happy when you made me cry
It made you happy when we said “goodbye”
By all the stars above you
Oh, gee! I’d hate to hate you like I love you
I thought that I was yours and you were mine
But you were someone else’s all the time
You made me love you, you made me sigh
And yet it made you happy
When you made me cry
- You might have spared me
Or else prepared me
For what was soon to be
If you had only just left me lonely
You’d have been kind to me
