Tried to reach you
With a love song
To let you know you're on my mind

I made a record
It made me famous
Called the one you left behind


Fame and fortune
May have found me

Oh, but fate can be so unkind
Because of you
They come to see me

They love the one you left behind

Chorus

Ten thousand people know the words are true
They cry for me
As I cry for you

But when the curtain falls
And the show is through
I'm still cryin' for you


When it's over
And I'm forgotten

They'll still be playin' this song of mine
And you may wonder
Whatever happened

To the one you left behind

Chorus

Ten thousand people know the words are true
They cry for me
As I cry for you

But when the curtain falls
And the show is through
I'm still cryin' for you


When it's over
And I'm forgotten

They'll still be playin' this song of mine
And you may wonder
Whatever happened

To the one you left behind

Yes, you may wonder

Whatever happened
To the one you left behind
Mmm hmmm
