Make the Man Love Me

You kissed me once by mistake

Thought I was somebody else

I felt that kiss and I envied

That somebody else

I wanted you for myself

I guess I was shameless and bold

But I've made a plan in my heart

I've never breathed, I've never told

I must try to make the man love me

Make the man love me now

By and by I'll make the man happy

I know how

He must see how badly I want him

Want him just as he is

May I say that should the man ask me

I'll be his

Can I tell the man just how dearly

Blessed he would be

All this beauty I see so clearly

Oh, why can't he?

So I pray to heaven above me

Pray until day grows dim

For a way to make the man love me

As I love him
