Classic Poem

Sam H. Stept (with Bud Green) , 1928

VERSE 1

Love, love, love, love,
What did you do to me?
The things I never missed
Are things I can't resist.
Love, love, love, love,
Isn't it plain to see?
I just had a change of heart,
What can it be?

REFRAIN 1

She's got eyes of blue,
I never cared for eyes of blue,
But she's got eyes of blue,
And that's my weakness now.
She's got dimpled cheeks,
I never cared for dimpled cheeks,
But she's got dimpled cheeks,
And that's my weakness now.
Oh! my, oh! me,
Oh! I should be good, I would be good, but gee —
She likes to bill and coo,
I never liked to bill and coo,
But she likes to bill and coo,
And that's my weakness now.

VERSE 2

Love, love, love, love,
Gee! but I'm glad I fell.
Just think of what I missed
By never being kissed.
Love, love, love, love,
Couldn't resist your spell.
Guess you know the reason now.
Well, can't you tell?

REFRAIN 2

She talks baby talk,
I never cared for baby talk,
But she talks baby talk,
And that's my weakness now.
She likes 'gagement rings,
I never liked engagement rings,
But she likes 'gagement rings,
And that's my weakness now.
Oh! yes, oh! yes,
And we're headin' for the parson's door, I guess.
She likes a family,
I never liked a family,
But she likes a family,
And that's my weakness now.
