She's so full of trickery
Life is bitter as chicory
Bitterness fills my cup
I'm sorry you brought that up
Once I thought I'd search around
For the little church around
The corner, but now I see
It never was meant to be
Once she used to praise me
Why is she so high hat?
Boy, does she amaze me
Tell me what causes that?!
When I'm away from her I start despairing
You ought to know by now what causes that!
I'm growing balder from the hair I'm tearing
You ought to know by now what causes that!
When she keeps on brushing you aside
Oh gosh, you're all at sea!
You go contemplating suicide --
It's much too much for me!
You're not so dumb that you don't know the answer
Loving her is what causes that!
If I should climb the Brooklyn Bridge and jump off
Oh, I suppose you'd ask what causes that?
If I should get a gun and bump this chump off
Well, I suppose you'd ask what causes that?
Really you don't have to mope around
And burn up as you do
There's a cannon and a rope around
There's lots of poison too!
I'm very blue of late and there's a reason
Loving her
Loving her
Is what causes that!
