Whose Little Heart Are You Breaking Now? 1917

Butterfly, you're like a butterfly
baby vampire,
thro' the year you're sipping honey here and there
your love is like a blushing rose,
it just comes and goes,
Butterfly, you're just a butterfly
with your string of helpless beaux.

Whose little heart are you breaking now?
little butterfly,
who is the one that you're shaking now?
little butterfly,
Who keeps on ringing your telephone,
one two three four?
Who keeps on singing:
"What do you want to make
those eyes at me for?"
Who sends you candy and flowers now?
Little butterfly,
spending above what his folks allow,
I wonder whose feelings you're hurting
when he catches you flirting,
whose little heart
are you breaking now?

Whose little heart are you breaking now?
little butterfly,
who is the one that you're shaking now?
little butterfly,
Who keeps on ringing your telephone,
one two three four?
Who keeps on singing:
"What do you want to make
those eyes at me for?"
Who sends you candy and flowers now?
Little butterfly,
spending above what his folks allow,
I wonder whose feelings you're hurting
when he catches you flirting,
whose little heart
are you breaking now?

Seems to me, you're like a bumblebee
baby vampire,
buzzing 'round but never settling down
that's you!
Why don't you give up stinging hearts?
Don't you know it smarts?
Taking them, and simply breaking them
in a thousand diff'rent parts?

Whose little heart are you breaking now?
little butterfly,
who is the one that you're shaking now?
little butterfly,
Who keeps on ringing your telephone,
one two three four?
Who keeps on singing:
"What do you want to make
those eyes at me for?"
Who sends you candy and flowers now?
Little butterfly,
spending above what his folks allow,
I wonder whose feelings you're hurting
when he catches you flirting,
whose little heart
are you breaking now?

Whose little heart are you breaking now?
little butterfly,
who is the one that you're shaking now?
little butterfly,
Who keeps on ringing your telephone,
one two three four?
Who keeps on singing:
"What do you want to make
those eyes at me for?"
Who sends you candy and flowers now?
Little butterfly,
spending above what his folks allow,
I wonder whose feelings you're hurting
when he catches you flirting,
whose little heart
are you breaking now?
