Stop Flirting 1925

Just a heartless coquette
from the time that we met
when you won me with smiles that were lies.
And the love in your glance
I mistook for romance
but I know now I can't trust your eyes.

Stop flirting, stop flirting
you know it's not fair
just daring, not caring,
whose heart you ensnare
you just nod your head
and I'm at your side,
but your feelings you hide
won't you ever decide?
Stop clowning, I'm drowning
in love's stormy sea,
you're playing, I'm paying
I'm up in a tree
but someday you'll discover
how mean I can be,
if you don't stop flirting with me.

Stop flirting, stop flirting
you know it's not fair
just daring, not caring,
whose heart you ensnare
you just nod your head
and I'm at your side,
but your feelings you hide
won't you ever decide?
Stop clowning, I'm drowning
in love's stormy sea,
you're playing, I'm paying
I'm up in a tree
but someday you'll discover
how mean I can be,
if you don't stop flirting with me.

From your ruby red lips
to your dainty shoe tips
you're a picture of Devil May Care,
you just cannot be true
ev'rything that you do
warns me: Stop, look and listen,
Beware!

Stop flirting, stop flirting
you know it's not fair
just daring, not caring,
whose heart you ensnare
you just nod your head
and I'm at your side,
but your feelings you hide
won't you ever decide?
Stop clowning, I'm drowning
in love's stormy sea,
you're playing, I'm paying
I'm up in a tree
but someday you'll discover
how mean I can be,
if you don't stop flirting with me.

Stop flirting, stop flirting
you know it's not fair
just daring, not caring,
whose heart you ensnare
you just nod your head
and I'm at your side,
but your feelings you hide
won't you ever decide?
Stop clowning, I'm drowning
in love's stormy sea,
you're playing, I'm paying
I'm up in a tree
but someday you'll discover
how mean I can be,
if you don't stop flirting with me.
