Written in 1959 but not released until 1974, the song almost didn’t make it to the airwaves because of Fender’s trouble with the law in Texas. The cause of all the trouble? Marijuana possession. Talk about wasted days and wasted nights – It took 15 years to get to publication!
[Verse 1]
Wasted days and wasted nights
I have left for you behind
For you don't belong to me
Your heart belongs to someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
Why should I keep loving you?
When I know that you're not true
And why should I call your name
When you're the blame for making me blue
[Chorus]
Don't you remember the day
That you went away and left me
I was so lonely, prayed for you only
My love
[Pre-Chorus]
Why should I keep loving you?
When I know that you're not true
And why should I call your name
When you're the blame for making me blue
[Bridge]
Oooh, oooh. ooh
(Music)
[Chorus]
Don't you remember the day
That you went away and left me
I was so lonely, cried for you only
My love
[Outro]
Why should I keep loving you?
When I know that you're not true
And why should I call your name
When you're the blame for making me blue
