Lyrics
- I never liked the simple life
Nor cared for wedded bliss
I knew that if I took a wife
All kinds of fun I’d miss
O’er me of late has come a spell
That’s brought a change of heart
You are the cause I’m glad to tell
I’m pierced by cupid’s dart
Chorus
You’re just the sort of girly for a boy like me
Boy like me, boy like me
There’s nothing in the world that I won’t do
For a girl like you
My heart with joy it tells me that you are mine
For all time, how divine
I know that you are just the girl for a boy like me
- I’m glad to hear these words from you
They fill me with content
Ofttimes I felt the same as you
On single bliss was bent
I’ve listened to love tales before
But with no serious thought
To wed no man I firmly swore
But no my love is caught
