I Loved Him, But He Didn't Love Me lyrics

The gods who nursed this universe

Think little of mortal cares

They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds,

And laugh at our love affairs

I might have had a real romance,

If they'd given me the chance

I loved him, but he didn't love me

I wanted him, but he didn't want me

Then the gods had a spree

And indulged on another whim

Now he loves me, but I don't love him

I told this tale with its weary wail

to several devoted wives

They said, "You're young.

You've simply sung the story of our lives."

So maybe there are couples here

Who have had the same career

You loved him, but he didn't love you

You wanted him, but he didn't want you

Then the gods saw you two

And indulged in another whim

Now he loves you, but you don't love him
