For The Last Time I Cried Over You (08-30-39) - Cab Calloway

What’s the matter with you, pops;

you sure look beat about the gills this bright

Oh, man, that soft cut out on me

What you sayin'?

Yes, she copped a final on me

I know you was too proud

Solid M-O, man, but that’s the last time for that jive

I know you gonna tell her somethin'

For the last time, I cried over you;

For the last time, I sighed over you;

I found out I can do without you;

Never thought that I could

Never dreamed that I would

Be feeling like I do and not be feeling blue

For the first time, there’s a song in my heart

Since the last time we drifted apart;

And when you said, «I'm afraid it’s all over,»

That was the first time I knew

For the last time, now, I cried over you!

For the last time, for the very last time, baby

For the last time, your daddy has cried, cried over you!
