I'm Awfully Strong For You 1918

I never had a love tale
poured in my ear,
never met a girl
that struck my idea,
I guess the reason for it is
that I'm not up
in the sweet heart bus'ness
never met a girl
till I met you, dear,
that I ever gave
the next thought to, dear,
that means I'm strong for you,
strong as I can be,
Honestly, I'm strong for you,
are you strong for me?

Honest little girlee
I am strong for you
when you go away
I'm going to long for you,
won't you please encourage me
with just a word or two,
Do oo oo oo do
You needn't say you love me
for I'm pretty sure you don't
but tell me that you like me
and there's nothing that I won't
be glad to do,
that's honestly and true
I'll go along for you,
I'll do a wrong for you,
because I'm awf'ly strong for you.

Honest little girlee
I am strong for you

I'll do a wrong for you,
because I'm awf'ly strong for you.

Ev'ry time you look,
your eyes they start, dear,
telegraphing love tales
to my heart, dear,
I guess the reason for it is,
that you're way up
in the make eyes bus'ness
ev'ry time you speak,
I feel like kneeling
sort a creepy feeling
comes a stealing,
cream puff, sing me a song,
song of sympathy,
angel food,
my love is strong,
are you strong for me?

Honest little girlee
I am strong for you
when you go away
I'm going to long for you,
won't you please encourage me
with just a word or two,

for I'm pretty sure you don't
but tell me that you like me
and there's nothing that I won't

I'll do a wrong for you,
