(Verse)
It's all over town that we've parted,
And everyone knows that we're through;
They see me alone broken hearted
Crying the blues for you.

(Refrain)
It only hurts for a little while,
That's what they tell me, that's what they say.
It only hurts for a little while
Then all your heartaches will pass away.
It's so easy to be smart with somebody else's heart
But I don't know where to start forgetting you
   What can I do?
It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me, "Just wait and se."
But I will hurt, 'til you come back to me.

repeat refrain

other endings:
(1)   But I will yearn, 'til you return to me . . . . .
(2)   My heart will break, 'til you come back to me . .
(3)   My heart will ache,  'til you come back to me . .
