"Liverpool Lou" lyrics

Oh, Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou
Why can't you behave just like the other girls do?
Why must my poor heart be following you
Stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou

When love is pleasing, and love is teasing
And love is a pleasure, when first it is new love
As love it grows it older, and love it grows colder
And fear is the way love, like the more I need you

Oh, Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou
Why can't you behave just like the other girls do?
Why must my poor heart be following you
Stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou

When I go a-walking, I hear people talking
School children playing, I know what they're saying
They're saying you'll grieve me, that you will deceive me
Some morning you'll leave me all packed up and gone

Oh, Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou
Why can't you behave just like the other girls do?
Why must my poor heart be following you
Stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou
