(I'M CRYIN' 'CAUSE I KNOW) I'M LOSIN' YOU
(Cliff Friend)


Cliff "Ukulele Ike" Edwards - 1927
Lou Gold & His Orch. (vocal: Annette Hanshaw) - 1928



Dee-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo 
You ask me why I cry
Pretending that you don't know 
But, dear, you do 
Just like a happy day that's ending, 
Our sweet romance is ending, too

I'm crying 'cause I know I'm losing you
I'm sighing 'cause I know I'm losing you
Though you say no, and smile at me 
It's just a smile of sympathy

I've tried to make you happy, honest true
Instead somehow I know I made you blue 
My heart is aching, breaking in two 
'Cause I know I'm losing you

Your love don't thrill me like it used to do 
I've got the feeling that I'm losing you 
Although we pet, I understand
What love I get is second hand

I hate to lose you, honey, honest true
I've got so used to all the things you do
I'll have to start all over, adieu 
'Cause I know I'm losing you
