Lyrics
- Folks always say
There’s just one way to say
That you’re in love
But I disagree
Just listen to me, you’ll see
Some good advice that’s very nice
For all you lovesick beaus when you propose
Here’s the way it goes
Chorus:
Just say it with a pretty little love song
Say it, it won’t take too long
Tell her that you love her
It’s easy when you use a mellow melody
Say it with a lot of pretty music
And you will find that she won’t mind
If you’re bashful and shy, give music a try
Just say it with a pretty little love song
- I don’t know why, but then I try
To tell my sweetie things
I can’t remember the things I should say
Hey! Hey!
But I have found, one way around
And I know it is bound
To make my sweetie say yes today
