SOMEBODY', by                    
First Line: "somebody told me, one bright summer day"
Last Line: "and somehow I yielded without any strife, / for I couldn't say, 'no, sir.' could you?"
Subject(s): Flirtation


SOMEBODY told me, one bright summer day, --
Was he in earnest, or only in play? --
"You're an angel, my darling!" I turn'd half away,
But I couldn't say, "No, sir." Could you?

Somebody said that the moments were bliss
Spent by the side of a certain young miss;
Then somebody teased for "Just one little kiss,"
And I couldn't say, "No, sir." Could you?

Somebody told me he wanted a wife,
To be only somebody's all through her life;
And somehow I yielded without any strife,
For I couldn't say, "No, sir." Could you?
