Gee, honey, it seems to me you love to see me cryin'
[E6] [A7sus4] [A7] [DM7] [B7] [Em7]
I don't know why I stay home
[C#7] [F#m7] [Bm7] [GM7]
Each night, when you say you'll phone.
[C] [Bb9] [DM7] [Am] [B7]
You don't and I'm left a - lone,
[Em7] [A7sus4] [A7-9] [DM7] [D6]
Singin' the blues and sigh - in'.

You treat me cold - ly each day in the year;
[C] [C9] [Cdim] [Em]+7 [Em6]
You al - ways scold me

When - ev - er some - body is near, dear.

What you mean to me?
