The Pretty Little Girl Inside 1910 Up and Down

Do I love you?
You know I do,
you're all the world to me,
when you're away
the skies are grey
it's lonesome don't you see,
I never chat about your hat
or style, I know that's true,
Because I scheme and simply dream
of nothing else but you.

It's not your old grey bonnet
or the ribbon in your hair,
it's not the golden slippers,
or the diamonds that you wear,
it's not the gown from Paris
that I want for a bride,
it's not the dress, I must confess,
but the pretty little girl inside.

It's not your old grey bonnet
or the ribbon in your hair,
it's not the golden slippers,
or the diamonds that you wear,
it's not the gown from Paris
that I want for a bride,
it's not the dress, I must confess,
but the pretty little girl inside.

The way you wear
your sunkissed hair,
is stylish, I admit,
your bonnet grey is all O.K.
in fact it's quite a hit,
Your slippers too are nice to view
you diamonds are immense,
they shine, my love,
like stars above
but let's talk common sense.

It's not your old grey bonnet
or the ribbon in your hair,
it's not the golden slippers,
or the diamonds that you wear,
it's not the gown from Paris
that I want for a bride,
it's not the dress, I must confess,
but the pretty little girl inside.

It's not your old grey bonnet
or the ribbon in your hair,
it's not the golden slippers,
or the diamonds that you wear,
it's not the gown from Paris
that I want for a bride,
it's not the dress, I must confess,
but the pretty little girl inside.
