Things ain't what they used to be, darling, can't you see?
The reason why, I reply:
Look at you and me...
Your love is fading like a cloud when raindrops start to fall;
I used to make you be so proud, now you don't feel at all...
Oh, oh... when you kiss me, my heart fills with desire
But now, your kisses are cold, cold like water on my soul!
Baby! (Baby...) Now tell me, is it true? (Is it true?)
Oh, baby! (Baby...) Am I losing you? (Losing you...)
Oh! I said things ain't what they used to be, darling, can't you tell?
We were so close when we first met, but now you just don't care...
You always loving me, oh so kind, never leavin' me behind;
Now you're tellin' me "Ain't got time" - I know there must someone else on your mind...
Oh, baby! (Baby...) I can't go on like this! (I can't go on like this!)
Oh, baby! It's like I don't exist! (They used to be...)
Oh, baby! (Things ain't what they used to be...)
Oh, baby! (Things ain't what they used to be...)
Oh, baby! (Things ain't what they used to be...)
(Things ain't what they used to be...)
