Once Too Often (From Pin‐Up Girl) Songtext
von 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!
