Don't Ever Love Me

While in that gay tropic isle I first saw that maiden smile Though I had failed in the past I said this is true love at last But then she whispered to me That our love never could be Destiny, oh when will I see the day? Hopelessly, I've wandered so long this way This could never be, she said pleadingly Don't ever love me, I'm just fancy-free This could never be, she said pleadingly Don't ever love me My love was motion and grace The moonlight soft on her face I held her close in my arms My heart was quick to her charms But then I saw in her glance It was just an evening's romance Destiny, oh when will I see the day? Hopelessly, I've wandered so long this way This could never be, she said pleadingly Don't ever love me, I'm just fancy-free This could never be, she said pleadingly Don't ever love me This could never be, she said pleadingly Don't ever love me
