Say We're Sweethearts Again (Virginia O'Brien cover)
original by: Virginia O'Brien

from The Speakeasy Serenaders: Jam Sessions at the Clown Closet 2013-2014 (2014 November 18) (2:52)
I never knew that our romance had ended until you poisoned my food
And I thought it was a lark when you kicked me in the park
But now I think it was rude

I never knew that you and I were finished until that bottle hit my head
Though I tried to be aloof when you pushed me off the roof
I feel our romance is dead

It wouldn't have been so bad if you'd told me
If you told me that someone had suddenly taken my place, hah
But no you didn't even scold me
You just tried to disfigure my face

You'll never know how this heart of mine is breaking
It looks so hopeless but then
Our life could still be sweet and placid
If you'd just put down that acid
And say we're sweethearts again

Now it wouldn't have been so bad if you'd told me
If you told me that someone had suddenly taken my place, huh
But no you didn't even scold me
You just tried to disfigure my face

You'll never know how this heart of mine is breaking
It looks so hopeless but then
Our life could still be sweet and placid
If you'd just put down that acid
And say we're sweethearts again
