Lyrics

First you say you miss me
Then you say you don’t
Make as if to kiss me
Suddenly you won’t
It’s so heart-breaking I find
Why don’t you make up your mind

Refrain
You know you’re gonna love me someday
Why not now?
You’ll think a lot more of me someday
Why not now?
What’s the use of you pretending
We’re merely friends?
Maybe that’s the way it started
No the way it ends
We’re gonna do some groom and briding
You and I
But while you’re wasting time deciding
Weeks go by
So put your lips up close to mine
I’ll show you how
You know you’re gonna love me someday
Why not now?
