Six years ago you said you loved me,
And then you went away
Six years, you thought that I would wait.
Well I am sorry, you are wrong.

I took the next gentlemen who said he loved me,
And I told myself he would suffice,
Because six years ago you said you loved me,
And then you went away.

How long do you think I would wait?
Pacing is some restless state,
Forever? You were wrong.

So I took the next man who loved me,
And he made me what one might call "a wife"
And I have lived if not a happy,
a full and settled life.

Six years ago you said you loves me,
And then you went away
Six years, you thought that I would wait.
Well I am sorry, you are wrong.
