My Darling I,
Wish I didn't love you so,
My love for you,
Should have faded long ago,
An d darling,
I wish I didn't need your kiss
Why must your kiss torture me
as long as this?
I might be smilin' right now
with some new tender grace
Smil in' right now
with my heart full of love
But when I try,
something in my heart says no
You're still there,
I wish I didn't love you so
I'm wild again, be guiled again
A simpering,
whimpering child again
Bewitched, fathered and be
wildered am I
I couldn't sleep, and couldn't sleep
When love came and told
me that I shouldn't sleep
We wish farther than you will,
girl, can I
Lost my heart, but what of it?
She is cold, I am free
He can laugh, but I love him,
although the laugh's on me
I'll sing again, each spring again,
with loving em braces
we'll cling again
Bewitched, bothered,
and be wildered am I
My darling, oh,
I wish I could love you so
I try to make my heart forget
Memor ies of long ago
But when I try
Something in my heart says no
Oh, you're still there,
I wish I didn't love you so
I was again, he got again
A simpering, quivering child again
Be whipped,
bothered and bewildered
And I wish I didn't love you so
Do, do, do, do you, boy
