Lover Come Back To Me
Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald
Laughing at love, day after day,
I'm sincere, you're unfair,
We can't go on this way.
"It's all in fun" you say,
After it's done, someone must pay,
Then there'll be, so much misery,
We can't go on this way.
Hiding behind a mask of laughters,
It won't wipe away the curse,
Even though it's fun we're after,
I'll take you sweetheart,
For better or worse.
If you would only say,
"Yes it's OK, let's name the day,"
Might as well, love will tell,
We can't go on this way.
Hiding behind a mask of laughters,
It won't wipe away the curse,
Even though it's fun we're after,
I'll take you sweetheart,
For better or worse.
If you would only say,
"Yes it's OK, let's name the day,"
Might as well, love will tell,
We can't go on this way,
We can't go on this way...
