Lyrics
1. I’ll take romance
While my heart is young and eager to fly
I’ll give my heart a try
I’ll take romance
2. I’ll take romance
While my arms are strong and eager for you
I’ll give my arms their cue
I’ll take romance
So, my lover, when you want me
Call me in the hush of the evening
When you call me, in the hush of the evening
I’ll rush to my first real romance
While my heart is young and eager and gay
I’ll give my heart away
I’ll take romance
I’ll take my own romance
