Lyrics You Didn't Want Me Then - Dinah Washington

This is why I′m alone tonight
This is why I've got no appetite
For fighting and biting.
For lying and sniping
For talking of one thing,
And doing another
Blaming each other

I never thought I′d sacrifice this much for you
I never meant to jeopardise my fun for you

Because you didn't want me
You never cried for me at all
You didn't love me
You were too far above me
Then you watched me take the fall

Here is why I now contemplate
Here is why I should celebrate
No more hurting and using.
The spitting and bruising
Breaking a promise,
Saying I′m sorry
Pretending to worry

I never thought I′d have to take this much from you
I wish I'd never used this precious time on you

Because you didn′t want me
You never cried for me at all
You didn't love me
You were too far above me
Then you watched me take the fall
