I didn't cry when romance was through
I looked around for somebody new
Since my romance, I've kissed one or two
But I'm afraid their kisses won't do

This year's crop of kisses
Don't seem as sweet to me

This year's crop just misses
What kisses used to be

This year's new romance
Doesn't seem to have a chance
Even helped by Mister Moon above

This year's crop of kisses
Is not for me
For I'm still wearing last year's love
