I HATE MYSELF
Silver / Cornwell / Oppenheim

as rec by Annette Hanshaw  
Jan 20th 1931 New York


Left alone and blue,
Broken-hearted too,
You're still on my mind!
I believe in you,
Thought that you'd be true,
But instead I find;

You never manned your kisses,
And your caresses too;
I hate myself
For falling in love with you!

To think that you'd be  unfaithful
When I was so true blue!
I hate myself
For falling in love with you!

I never thought you would leave me,
That you'd deceive me;
You played a game!
I should have known the night I kissed you,
I couldn't resist you;
Was I to blame?

I guess I'm only human,
What else was there to do?
I hate myself
For falling in love with you!

I never thought you would leave me,
That you'd deceive me;
You played a game!
I should have known the night I kissed you,
I couldn't resist you;
Was I to blame?

I guess I'm only human,
What else was there to do?
I hate myself
For falling in love with you!
