words and music by Curley Williams - lyrics as recorded by Rosemary Clooney in 1951 If you loved me half as much as I love you You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do You're nice to me when there's no one else around You only build me up to let me down If you missed me half as much as I miss you You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do I know that I would never be this blue If you only loved me half as much as I love you ------ instrumental break ------ You're nice to me when there's no one else around You only build me up to let me down If you missed me half as much as I miss you You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do I know that I would never be this blue If you only loved me half as much as I love you
