I'm confronted with a very, very serious problem
Concerning a song of the heart
I've a hunch that you're the only one can solve this problem
You're so wonderfully smart

If I said, "I love you"
Would you say, "That won't do"
Or would you say, "That is okay
Leave it that way"

If I rhymed cottage small
With the words kiss and bliss
Then would you say, "That is okay
Leave it that way"

If I use an old line like "Wedding in June"
Would you agree to help me with the tune
For the punch, s'pose I add
Baby's smile, Mom an' Dad
Would I be wrong or would you say
"Leave it that way"
