Lyrics
- You came along on a May-day
You brought me love in the Spring
Now I know that May-day
Never meant a thing
I’m just a lonely romancer
Right at the end of my rope
Tho’ I’ve had your answer
I can’t give up hope
Refrain
I’m in love with someone who doesn’t love me
And that’s why I’m bluer than blue
Wasting my time
Wasting my love on you
Just you
I’m just like a love-boat that’s sailing the sea
Without any captain or crew
Wasting my time
Wasting my love on you
(Boo-hoo-hoo)
If I could forget your kiss
I’d dismiss you from my memory
But the rapture of your charms
And those arms that used to thrill
Haunt me still
I’m forever dreaming of what used to be
And my heart is breaking in two
Wasting my time
Wasting my love on you
- Why didn’t something persuade me
To never learn how to care
Loving you have made me
Want what you won’t share
I like to ponder that maybe
You’ll owe your heart to me soon
Till then I’m a baby
Reaching for the moon
Refrain
I’m in love with someone who doesn’t love me
And that’s why I’m bluer than blue
Wasting my time
Wasting my love on you
Just you
I’m just like a love-boat that’s sailing the sea
Without any captain or crew
Wasting my time
Wasting my love on you
(Boo-hoo-hoo)
If I could forget your kiss
I’d dismiss you from my memory
But the rapture of your charms
And those arms that used to thrill
Haunt me still
Ev’ry night I scorch while I carry the torch
And my heart is breaking in two
Wasting my time
Wasting my love on you
