Oh!  plea-ease - don't let me love you
Just be- cause I'm feelin'  blue
And  plea-ease - don't let me  kiss you
'cause I  know you'll be untrue.

Because you're sweet dear, I want to love you
 plea-ease - stay away from my  heart
And plea-ease don't let me love you
'cause I  know you- ll break my  heart.

Oh! plea-ease don't call me darlin'
When I know you don't love me
And plea-ease don't whisper sweetheart
For I know it just can't be

When I'm lonely, I want you only
Where is the dream I once knew
Oh! plea-ease - don't let me love you
'cause I know you'll be untrue.
