Once Too Often

Once Too Often - Ella Fitzgerald

Once too often

I'll get the go by once too often

I'm gettin' mighty sick and tired

Of totin' a torch for you

So just be careful brother

I too can find another

Remember anything that you do

I can do too

Once too often

You're gonna slip up once too often

And then you'll have to change your tune

And sing in a different key

That line that you've been usin'

Will cease to be amusin'

It's gonna boomarang

When you come looking for me

Say you're a wizard when it comes to cryin'

A master in the art of alibi ing

Go on and do your tall and fancy lyin' baby

But You will say you're sorry

Once too often

You're gonna weep but

I won't soften

You're gonna whimper like a pup

The day I catch up with you

Step out go on and show off

Some night the lid will blow off

You're gonna give my heart the business

Once too often
