He Doesn't Love Me Anymore
Skeeter Davis · What Does It Take (RCA Victor) [1967]
When he walked away I thought my eyes would deceiving
I told myself he isn't really leaving
But he left me he doesn't love me anymore.
Now he's really gone there's nothing left to cling to
I'm all alone with no one to talk to
He left me he doesn't love me anymore.
I suffer through the lonely nights for he is all I see
Someone stands beside him but she doesn't look like me.
Where can I go now my heart is dying
My tears won't show although I'm still crying
'Cause he left me he doesn't love me anymore.
--- Instrumental ---
Where can I go now my heart is dying
My tears won't show although I'm still crying
'Cause he left me he doesn't love me anymore...
