Lyrics
- Take my arm dear, we’ll go a-strolling
There’s something I would like to know
To my heart dear, ‘twould be consoling
Tell me though you whisper low
To my heart and brain distressing
It means the world to me
For a time you’ve kept me guessing
Won’t you please tell me
Chorus
Would you like to learn to like me
Just the same as I like you
We could fly through life together
Like two loving doves we’d coo
In my heart’s a cozy corner
We can live there just we two
I’ll do anything to please you
And I’ll never, never tease you
If you’ll like me just as I like you
- It’s two weeks dear, since I first met you
To me it was love at first sight
I swore that I could ne’er forget you
My heart tells me I was right
I could tell love tales in “Latin”
And you will find I’m true
I’ll dress you in finest satin
If you’ll like me, too
