No. 14 - Song - Edna - "That's a very diff'rent thing."
Edna: | [When I think of all the tales you've told me, When I think of all the vows I've heard, I've been quite mistaken, All my hopes are shaken, From today I shan't believe one word! If you're just in fun, That kind of thing's been overdone, All those compliments are perfectly bewildering; For when you call me "dear," Of course, that's always nice to hear, But do you really love me? 'Cause that's a very diff'rent thing! When you've said "you could not live without me;" When a tear has come into your eye; I'd a simple notion, That was true devotion, I responded to each love-lorn cry! If you're just in fun, That kind of thing's been overdone, All those compliments are perfectly bewildering; So when my hand you press, Is that affection, more or less, Or is that force of habit? 'Cause that's a very diff'rent thing! Ah! That's a very diff'rent thing! |
