Tell her you care    each  time you speak. 
Make it her birthday each day of   the   week. 
Bring  her   nice  things,   sugar and   spice things,
roses   and  lollipops  and  lolipops  and roses. 

One day  she'll smile,   next  day  she'll cry, 
minute   to  minute  you'll never  know  why.
Coax   her,   pet   her,  better  yet,   get  her
roses   and  lollipops  and  lolipops  and roses.

We   try___ acting    grown  up,____ but___ as   a   rule___  
we're  all____ lit-tle  children____  fresh    from      school. 
So    carry  her  books.  That's  how  it    starts.  
Fourteen   or  forty   they're   kids   in   their   hearts. 
Keep  them   handy,     flowers and   candy,
roses   and  lollipops  and  lolipops____  and roses.
