Time Was When

Time Was When

Hadda Brooks

Time was when you

was mighty glad To have me 'round you,

that's when I found you

Time was when you,

you used to favor me all day

Then you went away,

I always knew you wouldn't stay

Time was when you

was mighty careless With my money,

you were funny

You said that the best was none too good

Then you went away, I knew you wouldn't stay

Time was when you

said lots of silly thingsTo please me,

you never teased me

And called me a baby doll

and lots of dirty names too

Now you say that we're through

And after doing all those dirty things like that

Packed up all your clothes and left your baby flat

But I can remember when there was a time

Time was when you

was mighty careless With my money,

you were funny

You said the best was none too good

Then you went away,

I always knew you would go

Well, time was when you said lots of silly things

To please me, you never teased me

You called me a baby doll

and lots of dirty names too

Now you say that, oh, we're through

And after doing all those dirty things like that

Packed up all your clothes and left your baby flat

But I can remember when there was a time

And after doing all those dirty things like that

You packed up all your clothes and left your baby flat

But I can remember when there was a time
