You're Making a Miser of Me 1919

I gave you all my heart and soul,
what have I in return?
A little smile, a little kiss,
and memories that burn.
You've shown me just what life could be,
My heart has heard love's call;
But if I can't have all your love,
then give me none at all!

I can't get enough of your kisses,
for counting the few that you gave;
I gloat all the while
over each little smile,
that made me forever your slave.
I save ev'ry letter you send me,
I hide them where no one can see;
And the less love you give me,
the more love I crave;
You're making a miser of me!

I can't get enough of your kisses,
for counting the few that you gave;
I gloat all the while
over each little smile,
that made me forever your slave.
I save ev'ry letter you send me,
I hide them where no one can see;
And the less love you give me,
the more love I crave;
You're making a miser of me!

I cherish ev'ry thought of you,
Your love is all I need;
somehow I always crave for you,
My love had turned to greed.
How sweet and happy are the hours,
When I sit by your side;
The love I get is not enough,
and I'm not satisfied!

I can't get enough of your kisses,
for counting the few that you gave;
I gloat all the while
over each little smile,
that made me forever your slave.
I save ev'ry letter you send me,
I hide them where no one can see;
And the less love you give me,
the more love I crave;
You're making a miser of me!

I can't get enough of your kisses,
for counting the few that you gave;
I gloat all the while
over each little smile,
that made me forever your slave.
I save ev'ry letter you send me,
I hide them where no one can see;
And the less love you give me,
the more love I crave;
You're making a miser of me!
