[He:] Come over closer, my dear,
come over here,
I've a confession to make,
long before I met you,
I have loved quite a few.
There have been many sweet girls I cared for.
Tho' 'twas all long ago.
It's only fair, you should know.

I loved a lovely girl in London,
I loved a peach in Spain,
I used to pet a brunette while in Gay Paree,
I was fond of a blonde while in Germany.
While in Japan, I met a Geisha,
I thought I loved her too.
I've loved a diff'rent girl in ev'ry land,
I've sampled kisses, dear, of ev'ry brand,
But I never really fell in love, dear,
Until I fell in love with you.

[She:] I'm very glad you confessed,
tho' I'd have guessed,
you're only human, dear boy.
Don't you worry, my dear,
there is nothing to fear:
Ev'ry one flirts till they meet the right one,
it is all in the game.
I have been doing the same.
