How Could You 1937 JPitt-Payne

I dreamed how wonderful
our love affair would be,
I hate to tell you
how you've disappointed me,
and though you did intrigue me,
as no man did before,
if I had loved you less,
you might have loved me more, for:

Just when romance got a start,
you decided it was time to part,
how could you?
How could you?
It was on a night like this
you left me
and didn't leave a kiss,
how could you?
How could you?
You know that love
is just like apple pie,
it's either sweet or tart,
you could be the apple of my eye
but you, you,
you upset the apple cart
I was looking forward to
all those little things
you didn't do
how could you, could you,
could you break my heart?

Just when romance got a start,
you decided it was time to part,
how could you?
How could you?
It was on a night like this
you left me
and didn't leave a kiss,
how could you?
How could you?
You know that love
is just like apple pie,
it's either sweet or tart,
you could be the apple of my eye
but you, you,
you upset the apple cart
I was looking forward to
all those little things
you didn't do
how could you, could you,
could you break my heart?
