If It Can't Be For Always

Pretty lady, won't you tell me

What you do when I'm not there

That's more fun than you have

Being here with me?

Pretty lady, I can't wait for you,

But I can always care

And I sure would like to see you

When you're free.

Even if you're not my kind

I'd like to make you smile.

If it can't be for always,

Would you love me for a while?

Hey, I know that you've got things to do

And promises to keep

And so very many friends you can't let down.

But I'd love to sit and watch the way

You smile when you're asleep

And chase away your blues each time you frown.

Even if you're not my kind

I'd like to make you smile.

If it can't be for always,

Would you love me for a while?
