How can I tell him I've been untrue

How can I tell him I love someone new

We've always been happy and gay

We've tried hard to keep it this way

That's why it's not easy to say

The things that I must say today

How can I tell him I've been untrue

How can I tell him I love someone new

A soldier he wanted to be

To keep us at peace and be free

Then one day he went cross the sea

And that's when it happened to me

How can I tell him I've been untrue

How can I tell him I love someone new

I know I was wrong I'm to blame

I'm sure now that he'll think the same

But love is so hard to explain

And that's why my poor heart's in pain

How can I tell him I've been untrue

How can I tell him I love someone new
