Lyrics
There you go and baby, here am I
Well, you left me here so I could sit and cry
Well, golly gee, what have you done to me?
Well, I guess it doesn’t matter anymoreDo you remember, baby, last September
How you held me tight each and every night?
Well, whoopsy daisy, how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn’t matter anymoreThere’s no use in me a-crying
I’ve done everything and now I’m sick of trying
I’ve thrown away my nights
And wasted all my days over youWell, you go your way and I’ll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I’ll find somebody new and baby, we’ll say we’re through
And you won’t matter anymoreThere’s no use in me a-crying
I’ve done everything and now I’m sick of trying
I’ve thrown away my nights
And wasted all my days over youWell, you go your way and I’ll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I’ll find somebody new and baby, we’ll say we’re through
And you won’t matter anymore
You won’t matter anymore, You won’t matter anymore
