Those Come Hither Eyes 1915 Kern

Now listen, now listen,
it's a secret, don't repeat it,
don't you tell a soul,
not a single soul, among a lot of books,
I've found a book on looks!
One that tells you what to do,
when eyes so true,
grey or blue, smile on you.
Now listen! Now listen to the many,
many, many strange things
any little girl can do.

With that come hither look in her eyes.
That signifies, "I kind of like you."
Each precious little dear,
at sixteen, starts out on her wild career,
of breaking hearts.
With that come hither look in her eyes!
And when she sighs:
"I'm oh so lonely."
Men fall like Autumn leaves,
but still each one believes,
the look that lies,
and lies! And lies!
In those come hither eyes!

With that come hither look in her eyes.
That signifies, "I kind of like you."
Each precious little dear,
at sixteen, starts out on her wild career,
of breaking hearts.
With that come hither look in her eyes!
And when she sighs:
"I'm oh so lonely."
Men fall like Autumn leaves,
but still each one believes,
the look that lies,
and lies! And lies!
In those come hither eyes!

Take warning! Take warning!
If you've met her,
just forget her,
let her keep the rings,
and the other things,
for if you dare to wait,
or even hesitate,
You'll find ev'ry little bee
that honey brings,
while she sings, also stings!
Take warning! She'll get you
and she'll never, never let you
get untangled from her apron strings.

With that come hither look in her eyes.
That signifies, "I kind of like you."
Each precious little dear,
at sixteen, starts out on her wild career,
of breaking hearts.
With that come hither look in her eyes!
And when she sighs:
"I'm oh so lonely."
Men fall like Autumn leaves,
but still each one believes,
the look that lies,
and lies! And lies!
In those come hither eyes!

With that come hither look in her eyes.
That signifies, "I kind of like you."
Each precious little dear,
at sixteen, starts out on her wild career,
of breaking hearts.
With that come hither look in her eyes!
And when she sighs:
"I'm oh so lonely."
Men fall like Autumn leaves,
but still each one believes,
the look that lies,
and lies! And lies!
In those come hither eyes!
