Loving words are quite uncertain, sad experience teaches me
If I had known before I courted, that love was oh so cruel to win
I’d have locked my heart in box of golden, and sealed it with a silver pin
Turn you round you wheel of fortune, turn you round and smile on me
Loving words are quite uncertain, sad experience teaches me
Winter brings an end to summer, the green leaves fall from every tree
And time will bring an end to all things, and love will bring an end to me
Turn you round you wheel of fortune, turn you round and smile on me
Loving words are quite uncertain, sad experience teaches me
Turn you round you wheel of fortune, turn you round and smile on me
Loving words are quite uncertain, sad experience teaches me
