Whenever somebody is near, dear
It must be great fun
You don't and I'm left alone
But I'm afraid you don't care for me
It must be great fun
You shouldn't for can't you see
Why do you act like you do?
Singing the blues and sighing
Why must you be mean to me?
You always scold me
Whenever somebody is near, dear
You never show it
You always scold me
Each day of the year
You shouldn't for can't you see
To be mean to me
Don't let me know it
To be mean to me
Pining the whole day through
You love to see me crying
What you mean to me
You treat me coldly
Each night when you say you'll phone
Each day of the year
Gee, honey, it seems to me!
Everyone says I'm a fool to be
You treat me coldly
I don't know why I stay home
You're mean to me
