IT'S EASY TO SEE [THE TROUBLE WITH ME IS YOU]

(often published as "The Trouble With Me Is You" 
possibly because the artist also had an album with this title)
 
Roy Alfred / Marvin Fisher

as recorded by The Nat "King" Cole Trio  
1944


I'm callin' you up while you're callin' me down ,
I want you to smile while you give me the frown,
It's easy to see that the trouble with me is you!
I'm takin' you out but you're takin' me in,
You're callin' it quits when I wanna begin,
It's easy to see that the trouble with me is you!

Just when I know
That my heart says go,
You stop!
Then, when I start to feel high,
You let me drop
With a flop!

You're brushin' me off, then you're leadin' me on,
You tell me you'll stay, then I find that you're gone,
It's easy to see why I happen to be so blue,
'Cause the trouble with me is you!

You're brushin' me off, then you're leadin' me on,
You tell me you'll stay, then I find that you're gone,
It's easy to see why I happen to be so blue,
'Cause the trouble with me,
It's so easy to see,
Because the trouble with me is you!
