Everlovin' (A One Way Love)

(album: The Voices Of Patti Page - 1956)

A one-way love is a crying shame
The kinda love that's a losing game
You try real hard but it just don't pay
No matter what I do or say
Because my love is just one way

Everloving, everloving
Want your loving, need your loving
Everloving, everloving
Pleading for your turtle doving
Waiting, I'm a-waiting till you
It's so humiliating waiting
Just for a kiss from you

A one-way love is a lonesome thing
Your lips grow cold and your heart don't sing
You treat him right and you treat him square
You call him dear
You want him near
But all the time he just don't care

Everloving, everloving
Want your loving, need your loving
Everloving, everloving
Pleading for your turtle doving
Waiting, I'm a-waiting till you
It's so humiliating waiting
Just for a kiss from you

A one-way love is a one-way deal
You can't explain just the way you feel
I wanna laugh but I gotta cry
So every night I lie awake
And listen to my poor heart die

Everloving, everloving
Want your loving, need your loving
Everloving, everloving
Pleading for your turtle doving
Waiting, I'm a-waiting till you
It's so humiliating waiting
Just for a kiss from you!

A one-way love is a one-way crush
You give your heart but you get the brush
You buy new clothes just to catch his eye
You think he'll make a pass at you
But all he does is pass you by

Everloving, everloving
Want your loving, need your loving
Everloving, everloving
Pleading for your turtle doving
Waiting, I'm a-waiting till you
It's so humiliating waiting
Just for a kiss from you!
