Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 – June 16, 1970) was an American blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos. Johnson was not only one of the few black blues musicians invited to be 'guest featured' on a number of jazz recording sessions, he was also one of the only classic 1920's blues artists to have a revived a high-charting career after WWII. more »

I tried so hard to make you love me, but you broke my heart in two.
I tried so hard to make you love me, but you broke my heart in two.
Darlin', I've tried so hard, but I can't get no place with you.

Everything you asked was always granted, but my love was all in vain.
Everything you asked was always granted, but my love was all in vain.
You left me with my broken heart, that will never smile again.

You made me fall in love with you baby, how could you deceive me this way?
You made me fall in love with you baby, how could you deceive me this way?
You can have your fun while it last-es, some day you got to pay.

‘Cause it hurts to love someone, that you can't have all by yourself.
It hurts to love someone, that you can't have all by yourself.
And the part that hurts you so bad – when you got to share them with somebody else.
