Lyrics
To you I was giving my time
On you I was wasting my time
All thru you’ve been thinking
Of somebody else who made you feel blue
I’ve tried just to make you forget
I’ve sighed, still I’ll never regret
You know how you feel about somebody else
That’s how I feel about you
Chorus
You didn’t have to tell me
Your heart just couldn’t be mine
You didn’t have to tell me
I knew it all the time
You didn’t have to fool me
For any reason or rhyme
You didn’t have to tell me
I knew it all the time
So, you were the one
Who’d love me and leave me
And like me to think it was nice
So, you were the one
I thought on the level
A Devil from Paradise
How could you make me happy
With someone else on your mind
You didn’t have to tell me
I knew it all the time
Chorus
You didn’t have to tell me
Your heart just couldn’t be mine
You didn’t have to tell me
I knew it all the time
You didn’t have to fool me
For any reason or rhyme
You didn’t have to tell me
I knew it all the time
So, you were the one
Who’d love me and leave me
And like me to think it was nice
So, you were the one
I thought on the level
A Devil from Paradise
The night you said “Good-night, dear”
You had a look in your eye
You didn’t have to tell me
I knew you meant “Good-Bye”
