Lyrics I Used to Love You - Dinah Washington

Tried to treat you sweet
Always tender and nice
But you keep lettin′ the folks outside
Give you all that good advice

You see, I just wanted to love you
Ah, but your head's made of wood
And I can see I′m gonna have to leave you, Daddy

'Cause you just ain't no good

Now, there are things that you did
I tried to forgive
But I see now you will never change
It doesn′t matter just how long you live

And I′m tellin' you
I used to love you, but it′s all over
All over now
You see, it's all over town that you threw me down
But you shouldn′t let that kind of of story go flyin' around

You′ve had your chance and now it's all over
I'll get along somehow
Oh, there were things that you did I used to forgive
But you′ll never change just as long as you live

And I′m tellin' you
I used to love you, but it′s all over
All over now

I really tried to treat you sweet
I was always tender and nice
But you kept lettin' the folks outside
Give you all that good advice

Now, I just wanted to love you
Ah, but your head′s made of wood
And I can see I'm gonna have to leave you, Daddy
′Cause you ain't no doggone good

Now, there are things that you did
Lord knows I tried to forgive
But you just never change
I don't care how long you live

And ah...
I used to love you, but it′s all over
Aah, that′s over now
