It happens every time
Give my love and
She leaves me behind
It happens every time
The sorrow makes me lose my mind

If she'd only be as true as I am
And listen to my love that's saying

Oh, oh won't you stay mine
Your love makes me feel so fine
And someday maybe you'll find
My love was gentle and kind

If she'd only be as true as I am
And listen to my love that's saying

Oh, it happens every time
Now I know it's not worth the trying
So don't turn around
Let my life fall to the ground

If she'd only be as true as I am
And listen to my love that's saying
