How About Me
Eddie Fisher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's over, all over
And soon somebody else
Will make a fuss about you
But how about me?

It's over, all over
And soon somebody else
Will tell her/his friends about you
But what about me?

You'll find somebody new
But what am I to do
I'll still remember you
When you have forgotten

And maybe a baby
Will climb upon your knee
And put its arms about you
But how about me?

And maybe a baby
Will climb upon your knee
And put its arms about you
But how about me?





It's over
But how about me?
