Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- I’m sighin’, I’m cryin’, you know the reason
You know what’s makin’ me blue
Now that it’s over you don’t care
But some day you’ll know you’ve not treated me fair
You took me, then shook me, you made me lonely
Maybe you’ll rue it some day
Now please don’t haunt me, taunt me
Hear what I have to say
Chorus
It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault
You called me pretty names
And I told you not to do it
You promised that you’d love me
Now I find there’s nothing to it
And it’s all your fault, it’s all your fault
Once I believed in you and I was glad
Now I’m deceived in you and I am sad
My poor heart is aching, and almost breaking
And it’s all your fault
- You know the day when, you first met me
How you tried to make me love you all the while
You said you’d give the world for one of my smiles
You pleaded, you needed, only my love
And I was a fool to believe
Now you deceive me, leave me
That’s the reason I grieve
