You were my hearts desire, you set the flame of love on fire
No other love could take the place of you
Then you left me all alone, so lonesome and so blue
And I found someone to take your place, what was I suppose to do?

Was I to walk the floor and worry over endless days to come
Or cry and plead down on my knees for you?
I couldn't stand to be alone, you left me nothing else to choose
So I found someone to take your place, what was I suppose to do?

I know I vowed, there'd never be no other love
The dream that I'd been searching for was you
But then that dream came to an end, there was no use to pretend
So I found someone to take your place, what was I suppose to do?
