Lyrics
“Do you want a hug?”, I asked
You whispered, “Of course I do.”
Post rendezvous a note you write says,
“… And of course I don’t want to.”
What eloquence your heart composed
This message on our adieu
Such beautiful prose; sweet poetry arose.
I called and so said you;
“Of course I do. Of course I do.
And of course I don’t want to.
By reason, my sweet,
You’ll have my defeat—
Surrendering so early to you.
And if I do, I might be blue,
‘Cause I’d Want to Again”
Do I want your hand in mine? Of course I do.
Do I want to stroll arm in arm? Of course I do.
Do I want you to rest your head
On my chest and close your eyes?
It shows your heart of love, my dear,
Of course I do.
Of course I do. Of course I do.
And of course I don’t want to.
By reason, my sweet,
You’ll have my defeat—
Surrendering so early to you.
And if I do, I might be blue,
‘Cause I’d Want to Again
Do I want to squeeze you tight
And dance with you in the rain?
Do I want you to laugh out loud
As your dimples show so plain?
Do I want your lips so close? Of course I do.
Do I want your nervous jokes? Of course I do.
Do I want stories embarrassing and fun;
Quiet tears of hopes undone?
Then it starts to rain heaven’s refrain,
The angels weep with you.
Of course I do. Of course I do.
Oh darling, of course I do!
By reason, my sweet,
I shall be complete.
I surrender to you.
Dearest, now that I do, —
I'm no longer blue, —
‘Cause I’ll want to —
Again.
