PROVE IT BY THE THINGS YOU DO

Sep 13th 1945 Los Angeles


It's easy to say you love me,
Easy to say you're true,
Easy to say those words to me,
But prove it by the things you do!

It's easy to say you miss me
When you're alone and blue,
Easy to say you care for me,
But prove it by the things you do!

Don't hold my hand when there's company,
Don't kiss me when folks can see;
Just do those things when we're alone,
They mean so much more to me!

It's easy to fool a sweetheart
Who has so much faith in you;
You don't have to say "I love you!"
If you prove it by the things you do!

Baby, you'd better stop holdin' my hand in crowds,
Don't kiss me when there's company;
Just do those things when we're alone,
They mean so much more to me!

Baby, easy to fool a sweetheart,
'specially when she has so much faith in you;
You don't have to say "I love you!"
If you prove it
(how you gonna prove it?
By the things you do!
(prove it by the things you do!)
