A Little Something That's All 1912

I never loved,
I tell you true,
I really don't know
what I would do,
If I should ever
chance to fall in love
with such a girl as you.
I never saw this little game
I never learned it,
I'm not to blame,
but here's the way I think
I'd ask a girl to change her name:

I'd like to place
a little something on your finger,
I'd like to place
a little something on your cheek,
I'd like to place
another something 'round your waist
and hold you tight
and huddle up and cuddle up
and squeeze with all my might,
I'd like to change your name
to something else tomorrow
before some other fellow
gets a chance to call.
Then there is something you should hear
that I could whisper in your ear,
a little something what? That's all.

I'd like to place
a little something on your finger,
I'd like to place
a little something on your cheek,
I'd like to place
another something 'round your waist
and hold you tight
and huddle up and cuddle up
and squeeze with all my might,
I'd like to change your name
to something else tomorrow
before some other fellow
gets a chance to call.
Then there is something you should hear
that I could whisper in your ear,
a little something what? That's all.

Now don't you think it's nice to hear
when someone loves you and calls you dear,
Beneath the shiny moon
we'd sit and spoon
when no one else is near.
You'd never guess how much I knew,
until you hear me, suppose you do,
now I've got something on
my mind I'd like to tell to you.

I'd like to place
a little something on your finger,
I'd like to place
a little something on your cheek,
I'd like to place
another something 'round your waist
and hold you tight
and huddle up and cuddle up
and squeeze with all my might,
I'd like to change your name
to something else tomorrow
before some other fellow
gets a chance to call.
Then there is something you should hear
that I could whisper in your ear,
a little something what? That's all.

I'd like to place
a little something on your finger,
I'd like to place
a little something on your cheek,
I'd like to place
another something 'round your waist
and hold you tight
and huddle up and cuddle up
and squeeze with all my might,
I'd like to change your name
to something else tomorrow
before some other fellow
gets a chance to call.
Then there is something you should hear
that I could whisper in your ear,
a little something what? That's all.
