I Sold My Heart To The Junkman (03-11-47) - Etta Jones

All over town they’re talking about me

The whole world knows you’re happy without me

You’ve broken my heart, So what do I care?

I’m thru with love, no more will I need it

The word itself, I’ll never repeat it

A sign on my back I will wear, «This is my last love affair»

I gave my heart to you, the one that I trusted

You brought it back to me all broken and busted

So I sold my heart to the junkman

And I’ll never fall in love again

You took my heart because you thought you could use it

Just like a little toy you battered and bruised it

So I sold my heart to the junkman

And I’ll never fall in love again

Like a melodrama, in a simple manner

Love played the leading part

We had planned a happy ending

But I’m left with a broken heart

I’ll throw away my pride and say we’ll be friends, dear

Tear drops I cannot hide for this is the end, dear

I’ve sold my heart to the junkman

And I’ll never fall in love again

I gave my heart to you, the one that I trusted

You brought it back to me all broken and busted

So I sold my heart to the junkman

And I’ll never fall in love again

You took my heart because you thought you could use it

Just like a little toy you battered and bruised it,

So I sold my heart to the junkman

And I’ll never fall in love again

Like a melodrama, in a simple manner

Love played the leading part

We had planned a happy ending

But I’m left with a broken heart

I’ll throw away my pride and say we’ll be friends, dear

Tear drops I cannot hide for this is the end, dear

I’ve sold my heart to the junkman
