Lyrics
- Melancholy weary
Haunted by a query
If he loves me or he loves me not
Won’t you give an answer
To this poor romancer
Or my fate will be I don’t know what
I love you so, you ought to show
The way you feel if it be “yes or no”
Chorus
Do you love me I wonder, I wonder
I wonder can it be true
My poor heart’s all a-sunder, a-sunder
It’s under spells cast by you
Will you answer me clearly, sincerely
Or merely banter with me?
Do you love me I wonder, I wonder
I wonder if it an be
- Queries without number
Enter in my slumber
Won’t you answer to my mute appeal
I repeat the question
But there’s no suggestion
In my dreams to tell me how you feel
I love you so, you ought to show
Your heart to me if it be “yes or no”
