If I Only Had A Sweetheart 1909

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 05 Sep 2005

Ev'ry girl should have a sweetheart,
who is noble kind and true,
I would give the world if I could say,
I had a sweetheart too,
I am almost one and twenty,
and I've never had a beau,
I confess I can't quite understand
why the young men treat me so.

If I only had a sweetheart,
If I only had a beau,
I would surely be contented,
like the other girls I know,
there's a young man just across the way
who has made a hit with me,
If I only had a sweetheart,
how happy I would be.

If I only had a sweetheart,
If I only had a beau,
I would surely be contented,
like the other girls I know,
there's a young man just across the way
who has made a hit with me,
If I only had a sweetheart,
how happy I would be.

I've a splendid disposition,
I am tenderhearted too,
still it seems that I can't find a beau,
what ever shall I do,
I'm afraid that I'll be single,
till the very day I die,
and to think that I can't find a beau,
it's enough to make me cry.

If I only had a sweetheart,
If I only had a beau,
I would surely be contented,
like the other girls I know,
there's a young man just across the way
who has made a hit with me,
If I only had a sweetheart,
how happy I would be.

If I only had a sweetheart,
If I only had a beau,
I would surely be contented,
like the other girls I know,
there's a young man just across the way
who has made a hit with me,
If I only had a sweetheart,
how happy I would be.
