You said he was just an old acquaintance
That you knew a long time ago
I could tell when he held you in his arms
You seemed spellbound by his charmsNo need to try, you can't deny
That look in your eyes spelled love, love, love
Love, love, love, love was all I saw
It was love, love, love, loveAnd I used to call you on the telephone
And I thought, I thought it very funny why you were never home
And I used to believe that I could trust you
But I find that you're untrueLately, lately, I find that I'm all by myself
Thinking you love me, when it's someone else
Hats off, hats off to you and your new lover
'Cuz for me, 'cuz for me there will be no otherGirl, to take your place with tears on my face
Farewell to you, may God bless and keep you
Please, dear Lord, keep her safe for me
Farewell, farewell, my darlin', my darlin', my darlin'Whoa, I need you, I need you, I need you
