Lyrics

1. There’s a reason why I look as I do
   I am never satisfied
   Don’t seem to get enough of you
   Want you always by my side
   I can’t help it if I love to be loved
   Lovin’ was born in me
   I just can’t make my heart behave
   Oh, honey, can’t you see

Chorus:
If you only had my disposition
You would love me all the time
Right in your arms you would take me
And you’d love me, you’d love me
You’d have to love me, ’cause I’m lonely
Lonely, for you only
And I want you all the time
Oh dear, my daddy came from Paree
Oh dear, my Mother’s Spanish you see
If you only had my disposition
You’d be lovin’ me all of the time

2. People talk a lot in our neighborhood
   Say I have a roguish eye
   You never live long being good
   If that’s the case I’ll never die
   I’d be awf’ly nice to someone I know
   If they’d be nice to me
   I’d hang around if I were you
   And never let me be
