If you didn't mean it why didn't you tell me
For I was searching and thought you were dear

If you didn't mean it why didn't you stop me?
You could have saved me heartache for many a year

You see I wasn't smart yes I thought from the start
that you meant what I heard you say
That with playing the fool you found someone new,
You could tell your troubles to

In other words you said dear, if I wasn't true,
Why didn't you tell me instead of making me blue

You said I wasn't smart, yes I thought from the start
That you meant what I heard you say,
That with playing the fool you found someone new,
you could tell your troubles to

In other words you said dear, if I wasn't true,
Why didn't you tell me instead of making me blue
