Verse 1:         Look at the man standing at the bar,

Glass in trembling hand; he’s a ruined man.

He wants to say how he still loves her,

But she’d only laugh. That would tear him in half.

 

Refrain 1:       Love left off and left him in pain;

He cared about somebody who didn’t feel the same.

 

 

Verse 2:         Then there’s the girl crying on her bed;

Will she ever win? Nothing matters but him.

 

Refrain 2:       Love left off and left her in pain;

She cared about somebody who didn’t feel the same.

Oh she loved, loved him in vain.

The time was right to fall in love;

He didn’t feel the same.

 

 

Verse 3:         And then here’s me, crying out these words;

I’d give all I own if only you’d come home.

                        I long to say how I still love you,

                        But you’d only laugh; please don’t tear me in half.

                       

Refrain 3:       Love left off and left me in pain;

I cared about somebody who didn’t feel the same.

Oh I loved, loved you in vain.

The time was right to fall in love;

You didn’t feel the same.
