you kissed me once, by mistake you thought i was somebody else i felt that kiss and i envied that somebody else i wanted you for myself i guess i was shameless and bold but i made a plan in my heart i've never breathed i've never told
i must try to make the man love me make the man love me now by and by, i'll make the man happy i know how
he must see how badly i want him want him just as he is may i say that, should the man ask me, i'll be his
can i tell the man just how dearly blessed we would be? all the beauty i see so clearly, oh why can't he?
so I pray to heaven above me pray until day grows dim for a way to make the man love me as i love him
