[Verse 1: Brenda Lee]
Monday's promise is Tuesday's lie
Saturday's party is Sunday's fight
Something's wrong with you and I
Love's gone wrong that used to be right
[Refrain: Brenda Lee, with Background Vocals]
And I can feel it slippin' away
Slowly, slowly slippin' away
It'll be gone in a few more days
If you don't stop this love of ours from slippin' away
[Verse 2: Brenda Lee]
Wednesday's kisses are Thursday's frowns
We can't live two days in a row
When our world's knocked upside down
Here we stand just watching it go
[Refrain: Brenda Lee, with Background Vocals]
And I can feel it slippin' away
Slowly, slowly slippin' away
It'll be gone, gone in a few more days
If you don't stop this love of ours from slippin' away
(Ooh-ooh-awww-aw-awww)
[Verse 3: Brenda Lee]
Roses are red and violets are blue
Sugar is sweet some of the time
This puzzles missing a piecе or two
We've got the grapеs but never the wine
[Refrain: Brenda Lee, with Background Vocals]
And I can feel it slippin' away
Slowly, slowly slippin' away
Oh, oh, it'll be gone, gone in a few more days
If you don't stop this love of ours from slippin' away
Oh, I can feel it slippin' away
Slowly, slowly slippin' away
Oh, It'll be gone in a few more days
If you don't stop this love of ours from slippin' away
Monday's promise is Tuesday's lie
Saturday's party is Sunday's fight
Something's wrong with you and I
Love's gone wrong that used to be right
[Refrain: Brenda Lee, with Background Vocals]
And I can feel it slippin' away
Slowly, slowly slippin' away
It'll be gone in a few more days
If you don't stop this love of ours from slippin' away

Wednesday's kisses are Thursday's frowns
