<br>

I have the worst apprehension<br>

That you don't crave my attention,<br>

But I can't force you to change your taste.<br>

If you don't care to be nice, dear,<br>

Then give me air, but not ice, dear.<br>

Don't let a good fellow go to waste.<br>

For this little sin that you commit at leisure,<br>

You'll repent in haste.<br>

If my heart gets in your hair,<br>

You mustn't kick it around.<br>

If you're bored with this affair,<br>

You mustn't kick it around.<br>

Even though I mild and meek<br>

When we have a brawl,<br>

If I turn the other cheek<br>

You mustn't kick it at all.<br>

When I try to ring the bell,<br>

You never care for the sound.<br>

The next guy may not do as well,<br>

You mustn't kick it around.<br>

<br>
