Lyrics
1. Is not my face just as fair to view?
Are not my kisses as rare to you?
Are not those eyes just as bright
Filled with the same tender light?
Do you forget what I’ve been to you?
Do not my arms still invite?
Refrain:
I love you, I hate you
And O how I hate me for loving you
One moment I hate you, and then I adore you
What can I do? I need you, I want you
You’re so much to me
O kiss me again tenderly
I love you, I hate you, for making me love you
And making a fool of me
2. Love comes but once to this heart of mine
My love for you was a thing divine
My vows I cannot forget
Though I must live to regret
Just take my word there will come a time
You’ll long for those arms of mine
