Ten Times Ten (Times Over You)

Ev’ry one says I to blame,
That I caused you heartache, caused you pain.
But there’s something that I think you ought to know.
I’ll tell it to you loud and clear
So you can pass it on my dear
And then I’ll pack my bags and start to go.

Ever since the day we wed
You spent too much time away from bed
Playing house or shopping at a downtown store.
And you can’t seem to find a break
To give me all the love it takes
So loving me is just another chore.


I’m ten times ten times lonely.
I’m ten times ten times blue.
You never gave us the time for loving
Now I’ve found time for someone new.
I’m ten times ten times over you.

Running in and rushing out,
Modern woman‘s what it’s all about,
Catching up with all the int’rests in your life.
But you can’t see it don’t add up
To quiet passions that erupt
From love between a husband and his wife.

Through the years I’ve tried to stay,
Though you’ve put me off or turned away.
Now it’s time for me to end this misery.
And when you’re friends start asking why
Just tell the truth when you reply.
I’ve found some one who’s ten times tenderly.


I’m ten times ten times lonely.
I’m ten times ten times blue.
You never gave us the time for loving.
Now I’ve found time for some one new.
I’m ten times ten times over you.
