Skeeter Davis — I.O.U. A Broken Heart

Dear, I've been remembering all we used to do The things we shared together, the things that I. O. U I. O. U. the long, long waits, the broken dates When you were out with someone new I. O. U. the tears I’ve cried, the times you lied And told me you were being true I. O. U. a thousand fights, the sleepless nights Your cheating ways kept me awake I. O. U. a broken hеart But you haven't got a heart for me to brеak If I tried for ever still I really know I could never, never pay you all I owe I. O. U. the deep distress, the sorry mess You made of all the hopes I knew I. O. U. the vows you broke, the great big joke You made of my great love for you I. O. U. the tortured brain, the hurt and pain I used to bear for true love's sake I. O. U. a broken heart but You haven’t got a heart for me to break I. O. U. times and tons of grief and misery I. O. U. alibis that wouldn't get by a little child of three For my parting words to you I hope before life's through You will owe to someone else all that I. O. U I. O. U. some bitter pills, the shakes and chills I got when you would never phone I. O. U. the many crimes, the endless times I had to sit at home alone I. O. U. a thing or two For all the love you'd never give but always take I. O. U. a broken heart But you haven't got a heart for me to break I. O. U. a broken heart But you haven't got a heart for me to break
