Well, darling, I guess it's goodbye

I'm sorry that you saw me cry

I'm sorry to embarrass you so

but hearts will be hearts you know!



I never was much for pretence

You love him an' I've no defence

It hurts, and I can't help it if it shows

hearts will be hearts you know!



But I don't apologize for loving you

I always will, I guess,

and to give you up to someone new

just breaks my heart, I confess!



Don't cry, darling, I understand,

we can't have it all like we planned

You can't help it if you love him so,

hearts will be hearts you know!



You can't help it

if you love him so,

hearts will be hearts

you know!
