You said he was just an old acquaintance that you knew a long time ago 
I could tell when he held you in his arms, you seemed spellbound by his charms 
No need to try, you can't deny, that look in your eyes spelled love, love, love, love 
L O V E, L O V E, L O V E was all I saw, it was love, love, love, love 
And I used to call you on the telephone 
And I thought, I thought it very funny why you were never home 
And I used to believe that I could trust you 
But I find that you untrue 

Lately, lately I find that I'm all by myself 
Thinking you love me, when it's someone else 
Hats off, hats off to you and your new lover 
'cause for me, 'cause for me there will be no other 
Girl, to take your place, with tears on my face 
Farewell to you, may God bless and keep you 

Please dear Lord keep her safe for me 
Farewell, farewell my darlin', my darlin', my darlin 
Whoa I need you, I need you, I need you
