Song

No Reply

Release date: 04 December 1964

This happened once before,
When I came to your door,
No reply.

They said it wasn't you,
But I saw you peep through
Your window.

I saw the light,
I saw the light,
I know that you saw me,
'cause I looked up to see
Your face.

I tried to telephone,
They said you were not home,
That's a lie.

'Cause I know where you've been,
And I saw you walk in
Your door.

I nearly died, I nearly died,
'cause you walked hand in hand
With another man
In my place.

If I were you
I'd realize that I
Love you more
Than any other guy.

And I'll forgive
The lies that I
Heard before,
When you gave me no reply.

I tried to telephone,
They said you were not home,
That's a lie.

'Cause I know where you've been,
I saw you walk in
Your door.

I nearly died, I nearly died,
'cause you walked hand in hand
With another man in my place.
