Verse:

Oh, I've got the blues and I don't care who knows it.

Chorus 1:

I ain't gonna love no more, no more.
I ain't gonna love no more.
Gettin' rid of the gal that two-timed me
And I ain't gonna love no more.
No more, no more, I ain't gonna love no more.
Gettin ridda that gal that two-timed me,
So I ain't gonna love no more.
She looked like a saint, this Jezebel,
She fooled me from the start;
'Cause I didn't believe the folks that said
She's a gal with a double heart.
No more, no more, I ain't gonna love no more.
Oh, I didn't believe the folks that said
She's a gal with a double heart.
For love is such a funny thing,
It makes you beggar or makes you king;
It makes you happy or it makes you sad,
Love is a funny thing.

Chorus 2:

This gal had a way with men,
They say her manners were coy and shy.
With a honey chile talk and baby stare
And a smile ev'ry time she'd lie.
No more, no more, I ain't gonna love no more.
Had the honey chile talk and baby stare
And a smile ev'ry time she'd lie.
There must be a moral to my song,
There's nothing a man can do;
When a woman gets set to bait the trap,
Fare-thee-well, mister man, you're through.
No more, no more, I ain't gonna love no more.
When a woman gets set to bait the trap,
Fare-thee-well, mister man, you're through.
For love is such a funny thing,
It makes you beggar or makes you king;
It makes you happy or it makes you sad,
Love is a funny thing.

Coda:

Oh, I've got the blues and I don't care who knows it.
