Lyrics

  1. There’s no denyin’
    You have won my heart
    I’m always sighin’
    Every time we part
    You’re just as sweet, dear
    Sweet as you can be
    But you’re playin’
    Only playin’ dear, with me

Chorus
You’re always teasin’ but still it’s pleasin’
Is that the reason you’re always teasin’
This hesitating is aggravating
You know I’m waiting so patiently so
Right here I’m gonna stay, dear
Until you say that you love me truly
You’re always teasin’
You know you’re pleasin’
And that’s the reason you’re teasin’ me

  1. You love me, maybe
    Still I’m feeling blue
    For it’s just maybe
    That’ll never do
    Why can’t you say dear
    That your heart is mine
    Now I’m guessing
    Only guessing all the time
