Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Are you listening? Are you bored?
Have I struck that certain chord?
Does your little heart react
Why hide the fact?
Keep me guessing but you’ll find
I possess a one track mind
Love is all I talk about
But you’ll never tune me out
Chorus
Please, lend your little ear to my pleas
Lend a ray of cheer to my pleas
Tell me that you love me too.
Please, let me hold you tight in my arms.
I could find delight in your charms
Every night my whole life through.
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul
Of an angel white as snow;
But how long must I play the role
Of a gloomy Romeo? Oh!
Please, say you’re not intending to tease.
Speed the happy ending, and please
Tell me that you love me too
