Lyrics
- I’ve been looking around
What do you think that I’ve found?
Just the cutest little you know what
Oh! a regular jewel
Dearie, can’t you get wise?
You’re the wonderful prize
Let me rave, be your slave
Tease me dearie with those eyes
Chorus:
Sweet ‘n pretty, Sweet ‘n pretty
Oh, you wonderful dream
Ask me would I fall?
If I had a million dollars
You could get it all
There’s a reason, you’re so pleasin’
When those pretty eyes shine
Want a little huggin’?
If you want a little lovin’, wink your eye
Sweet ‘n pretty, what a pity
Gee! I wish you were mine
- Stop your teasing awhile
What do you mean by that smile?
There’s a naughty twinkle in your eye
And it’s driving me crazy
Still I love it, that’s true
Just because I love you
Others flirt, maybe hurt
But they can’t love like you do
