Sinatra advises the lovelorn with " I could have told you so."
FraNk Sinatra's tempestuous romantic adventures have been well documents and a number of his saloon or torch songs have been among his most remarkable recorded and live performances. Angel Eyes and One For My Baby are two outstanding examples of hte lament for love gone wrong.
In this song, Frank plays the role of romantic advisor who tells the male listener that " She'd love you awhile and desert you ." Both in the song and in his life, Frank speaks and sings with hard won experience in affairs of the heart.
The melody is by Jimmy Van Heusen, a favourite Sinatra composer and personal friend. The advice to the lovelorn lyrics are by Carl Sigman.
For those males who have been led astray by a woman, this song may have mournful resonance . Women, on the other hand, may conclude, from their own experiences, that the dude deserved it. C'est La Vie !
