Lyrics

Oh please don't you think baby that I am wrong to cry, yeah
You loved me, too
So how come you just sit there and laugh
And laugh and laugh and laugh ?
Things just can't be this way
And not for very long
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Our love affair said it's just history, yes it is

And I tried to love you in my own way
I think that you know I did
But to have you here, to see you living
Oh so near to me, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh but you are distant and so it's dead
And so often people are glad to be old, yeah yeah
Our love affair is just history, yes it is

Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one

Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one

And I see you looking up at the sky, how high it is, yeah
You wonder if there is, whoa another me
Now how can that be, how can it be ?
Well, I sit here and I ask you, why all this ?
I just got toni-ni-ni-night
Our love affair said it's just a history
But baby, baby, I said it's over, charlie
I can't stand another lo-lo-lonely
I'm never too lonely

It's over baby
Where were you when I wanted ya
And needed ya right by my side ?
I said-a, baby, baby, don't you feel me moving
Baby, don't you hear me cry ?
I know I hurt you, but lord don't you know I cried
I know I hurt you, but babe don't you know I tried
Oh baby, oh babe, whoa
