Dorothy Parker - Now At Liberty lyrics

Little white love, your way you've taken Now I am left alone, alone Little white love, my heart's forsaken (Whom shall I get by telephone?) Well do I know there's no returning Once you go out, it's done, it's done All of my days are gray with yearning (Nevertheless, a girl needs fun.) Little white love, perplexed and weary Sadly your banner fluttered down Sullen the days, and dreary, dreary (Which of the boys is still in town?) Radiant and sure, you came a-flying Puzzled, you left on lagging feet Slow in my breast, my heart is dying (Nevertheless, a girl must eat.) Little white love, I hailed you gladly Now I must wave you out of sight Ah, but you used me badly, badly (Who'd like to take me out tonight?) All of the blundering words I've spoken Little white love, forgive, forgive Once you went out, my heart fell, broken (Nevertheless, a girl must live.)
