Don't be angry with me, you darling If I fail to understand All your little whims and wishes all the time Just remember, I'm kind of dumb I guess like any foolish girl And my head stays sorta foggy 'cause you're mine Now I recall the first time That you flirted with me, dear And you jokingly said, "Come and be my bride" But now the time has turned the pages Why, it's the sweetest joke on earth But I have you here forever by my side And maybe someday you're gonna hurt me Well, I've been hurt in love before Only God can know and time alone will tell But in the mean time, well, I'll be loving you With all my heart and soul And pray God to let it last if it's his will So don't be angry with me, you darling If I fail to understand All your little whims and wishes all the time Just remember, I'm kind of dumb I guess like any foolish girl And my head stays sorta foggy 'cause you're mine Yes, my head stays sorta foggy 'cause you're mine
