You've Changed

Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald

I've an awfully funny feeling that this thought

That's been a-stealin' through my brain

Is not to be ignored

But to really tell the truth, though I'm not a

Well-known sleuth

I honestly believe that you are bored



You've changed

That sparkle in your eyes is gone

Your smile is just a careless yawn

You're breaking my heart

You've changed

You've changed

Your kisses now are so blasÃ?©

You're bored with me in every way

I can't understand

You've changed

You've forgotten the words "I love you"



Each memory that we've shared

You ignore every star above you

I can't realize you ever cared

You've changed

You're not the angel I once knew

No need to tell me that we're through

It's all over now

You've changed
