Something Like This 1912 'The Girl From Montmartre'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 01 Aug 2005

A girl as innocent as you my dear
should not be out alone.
My convent education seems
a handicap I own.
But you're experienced and clever too,
On you she may depend,
if you will trust to my advice
I'd gladly be your friend,
why is it when he takes my hand,
with blushes red I burn?
It's very evident my dear
you have a lot to learn
you have a lot to learn.

Love is a game,
shy little maid
I'll teach you how
it should be played
watch me miss innocence,
then you'll experience
moment's of bliss,
something like this.
Look in his eyes,
something like this,
sigh tender sighs,
something like this,
closely cling nigh to him,
do not deny to him one little kiss,
something like this.

You girls learn nothing
in your boarding school
of any sort of use
I've studied all that they could teach
and still I'm such a goose.
Her education I shall soon complete
and love shall be her school,
just love the ones who love you, dear,
for that's the golden rule,
why is it when he's near to me,
my head it seems to turn?
My dear you don't know you're alive
you have so much to learn
I have so much to learn.

Love is a game,
you must begin
with certain rules
you're sure to win
see thus your head you rest,
here on his manly chest
Pray never miss
a chance like this
Arm 'round your waist,
something like this,
closely embraced,
something like this,
Coo like a turtle dove,
words that all lovers love
end with a kiss,
something like this.
