[Verse 1]
Now, baby used to stay all night long
Made me cry, Lord, she done me wrong
Hurt my eyes open, and that's no lie
Tables turnin’, now it's her turn to cry

[Chorus]
'Cause I used to love her, but it’s all over now (Over now)
Yeah, I used to love her, but it's all over now (Over now)

[Verse 2]
Lord, I used to wake up in the morning, get my breakfast in bed
When I got worried, Lord, she eased my achin' head
But now she's here and there with every man in town
Still tryin' to take me for that same old clown

[Chorus]
'Cause I used to love her, but it's all over now (Over now)
And I used to love her, but it's all over now (Over now)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Well, she used to run around with every man in town
Spend all my money, Lord, out playing her high class game
Put me out, it was a pity how I cried
Table’s turnin’, now it's her turn to cry
