I'll take romance;
While my heart is young and eager to fly,
I'll give my heart a try,
I'll take romance!

I'll take romance;
While my arms are strong and eager for you,
I'll give my arms their cue,
I'll take romance!

So my lover,
When you want me, call me,
In the hush of vthe evening;
When you call me,
In the hush of the evening
I'll rush to my -

- First real romance,
While my heart is young and eager and gay,
I'll give my heart away,
I'll take romance!

While my arms are strong and eager for you,
I'll give my arms their cue,
I'll take romance!

So my lover,
When you want me, call me,
In the hush of vthe evening;
When you call me,
In the hush of the evening
I'll rush to my -

- First real romance,
While my heart is young and eager and gay,
I'll give my heart away,
I'll take romance!
I'll take romance!
I'll take romance!
