What Causes That?

You're so full of trickery
Life is bitter as chicory
Bitterness fills my cup
I'm sorry I brought that up
Once I thought I'd search around
For the little church around the corner
But now I see
It never was meant to be
Once you used to praise me
Why are you so high-hat?
Lady, you amaze me
Tell me what causes that
When I'm away from you I start despairing
You ought to know by now what causes that
I'm growing balder from the hair I'm tearing
You ought to know by now what causes that
When some other chap takes you aside
Oh gosh, I'm all at sea
I go contemplating suicide
You're much too much for me
You're not so dumb that you don't know the answer
Loving you is what causes that
If I should climb the Brooklyn Bridge and jump off
Oh, I suppose you'd ask what causes that
If I should get a gun and bump this chump off
Oh, I suppose you'd ask what causes that
Really you don't have to mope around
And burn up as you do
There's a cannon and a rope around
There's lots of poison too
I'm very blue of late and there's a reason
Loving you is what causes that
When some other chap takes you aside
Oh gosh, I'm all at sea
I go contemplating suicide
You're much too much for me
You're not so dumb that you don't know the answer
Loving you is what causes that
