I DON'T LIKE

(Harry Gifford / Fred Cliffe / George Formby)

George Formby
recorded July 11th 1937


I'm so shy in every way,
Can't tell what I want to say,
Afraid I'm much too slow!
Other lovers get on swell,
But when I'm beneath your spell,
I can't let myself go!

I don't like,
Full o' passion I could be,
You'd wonder what's come over me,
But I don't like!

If you knew
I could be romantic too,
And even prove how I love you,
But I don't like!

Can't we take a lesson
From the birdies up above?
They enjoy life's blessings,
And they all get on with a little bit of love!

But I don't like;
On my knees I'd gladly go,
I'd be a regular Romeo,
But I don't like!

I don't like;
When I'm all alone with you
There's always somethin' we could do,
But I don't like!

I'm not rough,
Sure I've waited long enough,
I want to start and do my stuff,
But I don't like!

Can't we take a lesson
From the birdies up above?
They enjoy life's blessings,
And they all get on with a little bit of love!

But I don't like;
If I had a stronger will,
I'm certain I'd give you a thrill,
But I don't like!

I don't like;
I've never loved a girl before,
I'd take you in and lock the door,
But I don't like!
