If you cannot toss your heart gaily in the ring, Love me while the moment lingers, If you cannot cross your heart that I´m everything, Try at least to cross your fingers.
Talk to me, baby, tell me lies, Tell me lies as sweet as apple pie. Whisper you tremble with a wild desire To light the fire in my eyes. Tell me I´m marvelous, exaggerate! Prevaricate if you must. Just talk to me, baby, soft and low, Then if you decide it´s really so, Swear you be mine forever, otherwise just talk to me, And tell me lies, lies, lies, lies, Great, big, great big lies.
