Chorus: Love 'em and leave 'em; Kiss 'em and grieve 'em: That used to be my motto so high, Till my Sophronie left me so lonely; Now there’s a teardrop in my eye. When Gabriel blows his trumpet. I’ll be loving that sweet girl. She means more to me than this whole wide world Oh, with pretty girls had a winning way--oh, my-- Now I’m just a hotshot with a teardrop in my eye. (Chorus) |
