Oh Love Hast Thou Forsaken Me lyrics

My future is brilliant, I'm known as a brain

To the top my efforts have taken me

I have never known fear

Was the girl of the year

But love, hast thou forsaken me?

I'm a stranger to failure and financial strain

For a star a fan has mistaken me

I've come down, there's a hunch

From the mayflower bunch

But love, hast thou forsaken me?

Oh love, why dost thou linger?

Am I difficult to find?

If thou can't see my lonely heart

Then love, thou must be blind

I merely exist on my cultural plain

And my failure in romance has shaken me

I've announced every spring

That my heart's in the ring

Is there no thrilling kiss to awaken me?

Oh love, hast thou forsaken me?
