Now That Summer Is Gone
Mildred Bailey · Other Songs - Mildred Bailey
You wanna come back
Is that a fact it's like that
You made me wait too long
I'm gone
Now that she's gone
You wanna come back
Is that a fact it's like that
You made me wait too long
I'm gone
Take her to the movies
Dinner all the time
Shopping sprees for her
On me you never spent a dime
But I was there for you
When you had nothing at all
Then you got a little job
She was the one you called for
Now that she's gone
You wanna come back
Is that a fact it's like that
You made me wait too long
I'm gone
Now that she's gone
You wanna come back
Is that a fact it's like that
You made me wait too long
I'm gone
Oh no, you're taking me for granted
But you only get one chance
Then you let me hurting
And it won't happen again no, no
So she finally left you
It ain't no surprise
That you miss your water
'Cause your well run down
Now that she's gone
You wanna come back
Is that a fact it's like that
You made me wait too long
I'm gone
Now that she's gone
You wanna come back
Is that a fact it's like that
You made me wait too long
I'm gone
I just can not understand
Why I think you I want you back
After what you did to me
Did you think you blinded me
Boy you know, whatever you do
It will all come back to you
'Cause you're trying to play me like a fool
I just gotta say it again
I just can not understand
Why I think you I want you back
After what you did to me
Did you think you blinded me
Boy you know, whatever you do
It will all come back to you
Now that she's gone
You wanna come back
Is that a fact it's like that
You made me wait too long
I'm gone
Now that she's gone
You wanna come back
Is that a fact it's like that
You made me wait too long
I'm gone
Now that she's gone
You wanna come back
Is that a fact it's like that
You made me wait too long
I'm gone
Now that she's gone
You wanna come back
Is that a fact it's like that
You made me wait too long
I'm gone
