A BROKEN DOLL
"Successfully introduced by Miss Nora Bayes."
Words by Clifford Harris. Music by James W. Tate.
As recorded by Al Jolson, 1916,

1. I wonder why I always sigh the way I do,
And now it seems that all my dreams are all of you.
You used to be so nice to me in days gone by,
But all that now is changed somehow; I wonder why.

CHORUS: You called me baby doll a year ago.
You told me I was very nice to know.
I soon learned what love was; I thought I knew,
But all I've learned has only taught me how to love you.
You made me think you loved me in return.
Don't tell me you are fooling after all;
For if you turn away,
You'll be sorry someday.
You left behind a broken doll.

2. You'd bring me flowr's and stay for hours with me alone.
You led me to believe that you were all my own.
You let me see you wanted me; why don't you now?
I'll prove I'm true if only you will show me how. CHORUS
