Lyrics
You have heard about the little girl
Who had a little curl on her forehead
You’re like that for when you’re good, you’re good
But when you’re mad you’re bad and you’re horrid
Refrain:
Cross patch
How can anyone be so cross
Won’t you tumble off your high horse?
You know you love to be loved
Cross patch
If you feel the wind change, they say
It will make your face stay that way
And then you’ll never be loved
Cultivate a smile sweet and sunny
You can catch a fly with honey
You’re actin’ so spoiled
Shame, shame everybody knows your name
Cross patch
Don’t you know it takes two to fight
Won’t you kiss and make up tonight
You know you love to be loved
Refrain:
Cross patch
What’s the reason you treat me so
Don’t you know any word but “No”?
You know you love to be loved
Cross patch
You’re so pleasant in company
But you take it all out on me
And then expect to be loved
Maybe in the end you’ll be learning
That the little worm is turning
You’re actin’ so spoiled
Shame, shame everybody knows your name
Cross patch
I’ve decided to call your bluff
What you need is that caveman stuff
And then you’ll love to be loved
