A 1939 ballad by Jack Lawrence, recorded early on by Frank Sinatra with Harry James; Dylan places it next to last on Triplicate.
The words
A man whose heart has been broken notices that his misery amuses everyone around him except himself.
A jilted lover talks about being left behind while the people around him treat his heartbreak as a joke. The song turns on that gap between how his sorrow looks from outside and how it feels to him, mixing a little self-mockery into its sadness. It stays small and confiding, a single complaint told quietly rather than a grand lament. Dylan sings it as an unhurried late-night ballad, close and resigned.
