I. O. U. (A Broken Heart) Skeeter Davis

Dear, I've been remembering all we used to do
The things we shared together, the things that I. O. U

I. O. U. the long, long waits, the broken dates
When you were out with someone new
I. O. U. the tears I’ve cried, the times you lied
And told me you were being true
I. O. U. a thousand fights, the sleepless nights
Your cheating ways kept me awake
I. O. U. a broken hеart
But you haven't got a heart for me to brеak

If I tried for ever still I really know
I could never, never pay you all I owe

I. O. U. the deep distress, the sorry mess
You made of all the hopes I knew
I. O. U. the vows you broke, the great big joke
You made of my great love for you
I. O. U. the tortured brain, the hurt and pain
I used to bear for true love's sake
I. O. U. a broken heart but
You haven’t got a heart for me to break

I. O. U. times and tons of grief and misery
I. O. U. alibis that wouldn't get by a little child of three
