lyrics

When you gingerly took my hand
I might just have fainted
But until we’re more than friends
I’ll act calm and collected

“Will I see you again?”
“Well, that all just depends…

…A bow and handshake’s a start
But they won’t win my heart or my kisses
You’ve got to dally in kind
And learn how to live with near misses”

But how can I make eyes at you
When we’ve just been acquainted?
And you wink at all boys in the room
Or do you just feign it?

“I simply won’t contend
With your coterie of men…

…A wink and curtsy’s a start
But they won’t win my heart or my kisses
I’m not the dallying kind
And I think I’d prefer our near misses”
