Classic Poem

VERSE

You kissed me once by mistake,
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.

REFRAIN

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.
