Since I Fell For You
Nina Simone · S.O.U.L. [2011]
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
It's too bad, it's so sad, I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do, I'm still in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues ?bout every night
Since I fell for you, since I fell for you
