I thought your love was there to stay
But you thrashed my hopes and dreams today
You were so aloof when bidding good-bye
That I could not resist the urge to cry
I brought a ring – a cute little thing
But you back at me, my present did fling
My surprise and sorrow did not touch you
I wondered whether it really was true.
Boy buys ring, girl throws it away
The same old story repeated everyday
But I never knew it would happen to me
That you would not listen to my urgent pleas.
Girl leaves a boy, and secures another
Why, sometimes, she chooses his very own brother
But I never though you’d fall at the feet
Of a low vagabond of the street
And now I hear the staggering news
That you are off on a merry cruise
With a charming play boy whom you wed
When, you, no, to the other suitors, had said
A flirt you are – that I do know
I know you appeal to every Joe
To every Tom, every Dick, and Harry
Though it’s a Jack, whom you did marry
My friends urged me to wish you the best
And laughed heartily at their jest
But how can I, with my only treasure part
Since all I have got is a broken heart.
