First Line: If there's a man (alive) in this earthly whirl
Last Line: If there's such a man -- would you really want him?
Subject(s): Relationships
If there's a man (alive) in this earthly whirl,
Who is so constant in attention to just one girl,
That temptations to deviate never haunt him;
A man whose heart is never brimmin'
With adoration for other women;
And winsome ways of sirens never daunt him;
Who anticipates your every wish and whim,
So there's never cause to be anxious over him:
If there's such a man -- would you really want him?
