YOU DIDN'T WANT ME THEN


as recorded by Dinah Washington
with Gerald Wilson & his Orchestra
April 6th 1946 
Chicago 


You didn't want me then
I can't use you now.
Just forget me, baby,
I'll get along somehow!

Everything's just dandy,
I've found a new romance;
He's as sweet as candy,
I've got my one big chance.

You played the game a little bit different,
I couldn't understand.
It was all for one and one for all,
But I didn't fit your plan.

You're getting it back,
You didn't keep your vow.
You didn't want me then,
So I can't use you now!

You played the game a little bit different,
I couldn't understand.
It was all for one and one for all,
But I didn't fit your plan.

You're getting it back,
You didn't keep your vow.
You didn't want me then,
So I can't use you now!
