When a pair of red lips are upturned to your own,
With no one to gossip about it,
I Doubt It.
When a sly little hand you're permitted to seize,
With a vely softness about it.
When a pair of red lips are upturned to your own-
With no one to gossip about it,
Do you pray for endurance to let them alone?
Well, may be you do, but—I doubt it.
When a sly hand your own permitted to seize,
With avely softness about it,
Do you think you can drop it with never a squeeze?
Well, may be you can, but—I doubt it.
When a tipping waist is in reach of your arm,
With a wonderful plumpness about it,
Do you argue the point 'twist the good and the harm?
Well, may be you do, but—I doubt it.
And if by these tricks you should capture a heart,
With a womanly sweetness about it,
Will you guard it, and keep it and not the good part?
Well, may be you will, but—I doubt it.
Do you think you can drop it with never a squeeze?
Well, may be you can,but-I doubt it.
When a tapering what is in reach of your arm,
With a wonderful humbness about it.
Do you argue the point 'twixt the good and the harm?
"What if you do, but I don't it?"
And If I do, with a woman's sweetness about me, a heart,
with a woman's sweetness about me, a heart,
Will you guard it, and keep it and set the good part?
Well, may be you will, but—I doubt it.
