Lyrics
- I know why I’m so blue
And it’s all because of you
Now at last I can see
Just how you have made a fool of me, Oh Dearie
Pretty things that you’d say
They just stole my heart away
Not a single word you said was true
So, I’ll tell you what I’m going to do
Chorus:
I’m goin’ to make you love me
Wait’ll you see if I don’t
I’m goin’ to break your heart
That’s what you did to me
I’ll do the same, you see
I’m goin’ to take the gladness out of your smile
I’ll bring you sadness for a while
You’re goin’ to be surprised
To find my eyes can tell you lies
For I’ll make you want my kisses
Wait’ll you see if I don’t
I’m goin’ to make you sigh and cry
And if I don’t I hope to die
I’ll make you true to me, you little rover
I’ll have you a jumping through and rolling over
I’m goin’ to make you love me
- Little things that I’ll do
They will seem so nice to you
That you’ll want me about
And you’ll wonder how you did without me, honey
That’s the time when you’ll see
Just how mean you were to me
I’ll get you no matter what you say
And I’ll make you honor, love and obey
