Lyrics

The world goes ’round to the sound of a love song
Love goes hand and hand with a sweet refrain
A girl will part with her heart for a love song
Telling her what words never could explain

Chorus
Tell me with a melody
With a love-song tell me that you care for me
If you want to win by petting
Wrap your loving in a dreamy musical setting
Woo me with a pretty tune
Sing a love song to me
While we sit and spoon
If you would cast a spell
Around the things you tell
Tell me with a pretty melody
