Peter, Peter (Nelson; Hollaender)

Can't imagine why I chose to leave him.
how could I have so cruel?
after all me without question,
still in left him like a fool.
If I woke him late at night complaining: " I'm on my last cigarette. "
he'd say "I'll be over in a minute. darling please don't get upset. "
Peter, Peter
I must have been blind
Peter, Peter
I was so unkind
Peter, Peter
tell me what to do
Peter Peter
I'll make it up to you.
if I told him that I'd been unfaithful he would shake his head and say
"darling just as long as you feel happy" that's man I threw away
now whenever I'm in bed with others
on some arch or idle whim
I pretend the man I'm with is Peter
oh how my heart aches for him.
Peter, Peter
may I have this dance
Peter, Peter
give me one more chance
Peter, Peter
tell me what to do
Peter, Peter
I'm still in love with you.
