DON'T YOU WANT TO BE MY GIRL
Written by Nellie Smith and Leona Buttram
(Recorded January 18, 1960)
Poor little doll, you're too young for tears
I'm in love with you honey, up to my ears
I know that you go for somebody else
But he's gonna drop you, he told me himself
Poor little doll, like sun is your smile
But there will be tears in just a short while
Don't let him hurt you and tear down your world
Oh don't you wanna be my girl
Don't you wanna move right into my heart
Don't give those blue tears a chance to start
A love true as mine shouldn't be overlooked
I'll let the world see that you've got me hooked
No kissin' in corners like he wants to do
'Cause nobody hides a love that is true
To him you're a plaything, to me you're a pearl
Oh don't you wanna be my girl
Don't you wanna move right into my heart
Don't give those blue tears a chance to start
A love true as mine shouldn't be overlooked
And I'll let the world see that you've got me hooked
No kissin' in corners like he wants to do
'Cause nobody hides a love that is true
To him you're a plaything, to me you're a pearl
So don't you wanna be my girl
Yes, don't you wanna be my girl
