Do-do-do-do-do-do,
You ask me why I cry, pretending
that you don't know;
But dear, you do.
Just like a happy day that's ending,
Our sweet romance is ending, too.
I'm crying 'cause I know I'm losing
you;
I'm sighing 'cause I know I'm losing
you;
Though you say no, and smile at
me;
It's just a smile of sympathy.
I've tried to make you happy, honest
true,
Instead somehow I know I made you
blue;
My heart is aching, breaking in
two,
'Cause I know I'm losing you.
Your love don't thrill me like it
used to do;
I've got the feeling that I'm losing
you;
Although we pet, I understand,
What love I get is second hand.
I hate to lose you, honey, honest
true,
I've got so used to all the things
you do;
I'll have to start all over; adieu,
'Cause I know I'm losing you.
