Oh, why did you give me your love, dear When it lasted only a day Why did you teach me to love you Only to turn me away You promised that you would be true Your promise was all in vain But my heart keeps calling for you, dear Like the flowers call for the rain You may be sorry some day, dear That you have broken my heart That you have passed me away, dear And fooled me from the start Now this is my last appeal, dear I've only a word to say Oh, why did you give me your love, dear When it lasted only a day
