My heart is growin' so weary
And you know, dearie, you're to blame
My sweet Eliza, ain't you ashamed
I keep on sayin' I love you
And I dream of you night and day
My sweet Eliza, that's why I say

Eliza with those eyes that look so dreamy
'Liza, do they shine because they see me
You won't say yes, you won't say no
You keep me guessing so, Eliza
What's the reason you keep teasin' 'Liza
Once you're warm and then you're freezin'
My poor heart sighs! for something that lies
And lies in Eliza's eyes

Eliza with those eyes that look so dreamy
'Liza, do they shine because they see me
You won't say yes, you won't say no
You keep me guessing so, Eliza
What's the reason you keep teasin' 'Liza
Once you're warm and then you're freezin'
My poor heart sighs! for something that lies
And lies in Eliza's eyes

I'm blue because you won't take me
Still you don't shake me so I say
My sweet Eliza, love finds a way
You don't see me around mopin'
I just keep hopin' while I pray
My sweet Eliza, you'll name the day

Eliza with those eyes that look so dreamy
'Liza, do they shine because they see me
You won't say yes, you won't say no
You keep me guessing so, Eliza
What's the reason you keep teasin' 'Liza
Once you're warm and then you're freezin'
My poor heart sighs! for something that lies
And lies in Eliza's eyes

Eliza with those eyes that look so dreamy
'Liza, do they shine because they see me
You won't say yes, you won't say no
You keep me guessing so, Eliza
What's the reason you keep teasin' 'Liza
Once you're warm and then you're freezin'
My poor heart sighs! for something that lies
And lies in Eliza's eyes
