The Tables Are Turning On You 1929

Why do you write to remind me
of the day when we first met?
Why do you ask for foregiveness
just as I learned to forget?

You used to be
all in all to me
and I was all in all to you.
I gave you my heart
never thinking we'd part
always believing
you were true;
But you said goodbye
without saying why,
or letting me know
you were through.
You left me to pay,
but slowly,
day by day,
the tables are turning on you.

You used to be
all in all to me
and I was all in all to you.
I gave you my heart
never thinking we'd part
always believing
you were true;
But you said goodbye
without saying why,
or letting me know
you were through.
You left me to pay,
but slowly,
day by day,
the tables are turning on you.

When you were on with the new love
you were glad to leave the old.
you had no use for the true love,
Unil the new had grown cold.

You used to be
all in all to me
and I was all in all to you.
I gave you my heart
never thinking we'd part
always believing
you were true;
But you said goodbye
without saying why,
or letting me know
you were through.
You left me to pay,
but slowly,
day by day,
the tables are turning on you.

You used to be
all in all to me
and I was all in all to you.
I gave you my heart
never thinking we'd part
always believing
you were true;
But you said goodbye
without saying why,
or letting me know
you were through.
You left me to pay,
but slowly,
day by day,
the tables are turning on you.
