Dorothy Parker - Dilemma lyrics

If I were mild, and I were sweet And laid my heart before your feet And took my dearest thoughts to you And hailed your easy lies as true Were I to murmur "Yes," and then "How true, my dear," and "Yes," again And wear my eyes discreetly down And tremble whitely at your frown And keep my words unquestioning My love, you'd run like anything! Should I be frail, and I be mad And share my heart with every lad But beat my head against the floor What times you wandered past my door Were I to doubt, and I to sneer And shriek "Farewell!" and still be here And break your joy, and quench your trust I should not see you for the dust!
