My Heart Is Bleeding

Fats Domino · Other Songs - Fats Domino

It was you Darlin' not I

Who said we would 'part Bye and Bye

When you left I broke down and cried

And my tears just rolled from my eyes

I was more dead than alive

When you waved your last Good-Bye

Please come back Darlin' please try

'Cause my heart is bleeding inside

Please come back please come back

Oh I can't live without you you know

Change your mind and be kind

For I'm in love with you so

I was wrong and you was right

Oh I can't sleep day or night

So my Love I'm lost in this fight

And everything will be alright
