You're tired of me, it's plain to see
I was just a mere sensation
How I need you
But I'll get along somehow, yeah
I wanted love, you promised love
All you gave was conversation
How I miss you
But I'll get along somehow
Darling, all, all I have left is
Just a picture of you
On which you wrote
But never, never, never wrote the words "I love you"
I'm all alone, so all alone
I'm needing words of consolation
Friendless and blue
But I'll get along somehow
You're right up on top now
And you want to be free
Why, you think you're too good
Much too good for nobody like me
You're afraid to present me to friends of your set
Oh well, I guess it's best
But how soon will you forget
All the fine things you said?
And how just a little success
Yes, just a little taste of success
Has gone straight to your head
I hold in my hand three letters, dear
Each from three different stages
Of your fine, super fine career
The first letter started, "Nancy, darling
Sweetheart, my wonderful one
I'll always be grateful for the things that you've done"
The second letter came right after I gave you your start
Yes, it came from your pen, dear, but not from your heart
The third, the third was the joker that came with the deck
"Enclosed, Nancy dear, please find my check"
Why, you fool
You poor, sad, foolish, worthless fool
Do you think your money can pay for the hard years I've suffered
Until things broke your way?
Yes, I smiled when you kissed me and I thrilled to your touch
My only sin was I loved you
I loved you much too much
I'm answering this letter to say we must part
But I'm tearing it to pieces just like you tore up my heart
Yes, I'm sad and I'm licked and I haven't got a dime
But I thank God, yes, I thank my God
I found you out in time
Darling, all I have left is
Just a picture of you
On which you wrote
But never, never, never wrote the words "I love you"
I'm all alone, so all alone
I'm needing words of consolation
Friendless and blue
But I'll get along somehow
I'll get along somehow
