I Went To All That Trouble For Nothin'

He went to all that trouble for nothin' I hear them say
It's too bad that things turned out for him that way
You took my love and turned around and made me blue
I went to all that trouble for nothin' for you
I turned my back on the girl I thought that she was mine
I gave up my friends and now it seems I'm givin' up my mind
I did everything you wanted me to do I went to all
that trouble for nothin' for you
I hear the whistle blow the train will soon be here
And just for it takes me I've got more cause to care
To face my friends is something I just can't do
I went to all that trouble for nothin' for you
I went to all that trouble for nothin' for you
It's too bad that things turned out for him that way
You took my love and turned around and made me blue
I went to all that trouble for nothin' for you
I turned my back on the girl I thought that she was mine
I gave up my friends and now it seems I'm givin' up my mind
I did everything you wanted me to do I went to all
that trouble for nothin' for you
I hear the whistle blow the train will soon be here
And just for it takes me I've got more cause to care
To face my friends is something I just can't do
I went to all that trouble for nothin' for you
I went to all that trouble for nothin' for you
