Dont Ever Love Me - Harry Belafonte

Don't Ever Love MeHarry Belafonte Word and Music by Lord Burgess(peak Billboard position # 90 in 1957)While in that gay tropic isleI first saw that maiden smileThough I had failed in the pastI said "this is true love at last"But then she whispered to meThat our love never could beCHORUSDestiny, oh when will I see the day?Hopelessly, I've wandered so long this way"This could never be" she said pleadingly"Don't ever love me, I'm just fancy-free""This could never be" she said pleadingly"Don't ever love me"My love was motion and graceThe moonlight soft on her faceI held her close in my armsMy heart was quick to her charmsBut then I saw in her glanceIt was just an evening's romanceCHORUS"This could never be" she said pleadingly"Don't ever love me"Transcribed by Ronald E.
