I Loved Him (But He Didn't Love Me)

(앨범: Sassy - 1956)

The gods who nursed this universe
Think little of mortal's cares
They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds
And laugh at our love affairs
I might have had a real romance
If they'd given me a chance

I loved him, but he didn't love me
I wanted him, but he didn't want me
Then the gods had a spree
And indulged in another whim
Now he loves me, but I don't love him

I told this tale with its weary wail
To several devoted wives
They said, "You're young, you have simply sung
The story of our lives."
So maybe there are couples here
Who have had the same career

You loved him, but he didn't love you
You wanted him, but he didn't want you
Then the gods saw you two
And indulged in another whim
Now he loves you, but you don't love him
