"The Only Girl I Ever Loved" lyrics - CHARLIE POOLE

CHARLIE POOLE
"The Only Girl I Ever Loved"

Some say there's love in pleasure
But no pleasure do I see
For the only girl I ever knew
Has now gone back on me

You have learned to love another
You have broken every vow
We have parted from each other
And my heart is lonely now

When I saw your eyes in virtue
I could hardly believe my own
When I heard your sweet voice angry
It was death to every tone

They have told you untrue stories
You believed them instead of me
You are fickle but I'll forgive you
Fond memories there'd always be

Goodbye, for oncest I loved you
Even more than tongue can tell
Little did I think you'd deceive me
Now I bid you a kind farewell

You have wrecked the hearts I've cherished
You have doomed me day by day
You are fickle but I'll forgive you
But forget you I never may

There's changes in the ocean
There's changes in the sea
There's changes in a flapper's heart
But there's no change in me

[Repeat first verse]
