Chorus:

I think you're one of the sweetest kids I've ever met,
If you would let me, I could like you a lot;
Just try and like me if you can a bit,
You'll never fret about the things that love is not.
Don't think I'm of those girls without a sense of good,
Why I could have had the richest man in town;
Don't think I flirt with ev'ry man a bit,
Don't think I couldn't ever turn a fellow down.
Instead of sittin' so cold there beside me,
We could be gettin' much warmer, you see:
If you would give me half a chance,
I could show you what romance could be.
I think you're one of the sweetest kids I've ever known,
Though you're a kid, I'll never treat you as such;
You'll feel just like a Dapper Dan a bit,
If you will only let our lips begin to touch.
I think you're one of the sweetest kids I've ever met,
And I will never, never let you get in Dutch!
