[Chorus] Sweet as the flowers in May time Sweet as the dew on the rose I would rather be somebody's darling As a poor girl who nobody knows [Verse 1] Oh, mama scolds me for flirting What is as a poor girl to do Oh, this world would be sad without a lover And this world would be sad without you Oh, I wish I had someone to love me Someone just to call me their own Be the rule over somebody's kitchen Or the queen over somebody's home [Chorus] [Verse 2] Oh, what is the use of us parting Wherever there's a will, there's a way Tomorrow the sun may be shining Although it is cloudy today [Chorus]
