Ray Noble & His New Mayfair Orchestra
Now you pass me by
Pass without a sign
Why be so unkind to me
Now you have a heart
To decide we part
Why be so unkind to me
I did my best for you
Helped to pull you through
Gave you love and sympathy
Now you wear a frown
Now you done me down
Why be so unkind to me
