poor little doll

Jim Reeves

Poor little doll, you're too young for tears
I'm in love with you, honey, up to my ears
I know that you go for somebody else
But he's gonna drop you, he told me himself

Poor little doll, like sun is your smile
But there will be tears in just a short while
Don't let him hurt you and tear down your world
Oh, don't you wanna be my girl

Don't you want to move right into my heart
Don't give those blue tears a chance to start
A love true as mine should'nt be overlooked
I'll let the world see that you've got me hooked

No kissin' in corners like he wants to do
'Cause nobody hides a love that is true
To him you're a plaything, to me you're a pearl
Oh, don't you wanna be my girl

Don't you want to move right into my heart
Don't give those blue tears a chance to start
A love true as mine should'nt be overlooked
And I'll let the world see that you've got me hooked

No kissin' in corners like he wants to do
'Cause nobody hides a love that is true
To him you're a plaything, to me you're a pearl
So, don't you wanna be my girl
Yes, don't you wanna be my girl
