Oh, father father tell me a story

Tell me what to do

Oh, doctor doctor is there a cure

For the young man's broken blues?

And he said, "Love comes and goes

Everybody knows

It comes and goes

Oh, darling darling I see the look

Of sadness in your eyes

Oh, in the morning

Do I stay in your arms or baby do I fly?

And he said, "Love come and goes

Everybody knows

That there ain't no such thing as an everlasting love."

It comes and goes

Love comes and love goes

Ooh, everybody knows
