BUTTERFLY LOVE
by Mitchell Torok
(Recorded mid-1953)
Your butterfly love just flutters around
From flower to flower drops the heads to the ground
Their leaves just fall and wither and die
When your butterfly love comes driftin' by.
I found out just what it is that you like most of all
To take a little honey then let our poor hearts fall
How I got mixed up in this I guess I'll never know
I would like to clip your wings and then tell you no.
Your butterfly love just flutters around
From flower to flower drops the leaves to the ground
Their leaves just fall and wither and die
When your butterfly love comes driftin' by.
I'm just one of a hundred flowers waitin' for your butterfly love
I grew here in a garden with a hundred more or so
I never dreamed my fate would come from a love like yours to know
Every time I see you wings approachin' in the breeze
I know I am helpless and you come and go just as you please
Your butterfly love just flutters around
Flower to flower drops the leaves to the ground
Their leaves just fall and wither and die
When your butterfly love comes driftin' by.
I'll need a net to catch you and when I finally do
I'll make you taste of bitter love the kind I got from you
I'll take a hundred others and love them one by one
And you can watch just like I did then I'll have all the fun.
Your butterfly love that flutters around
From flower to flower drops the heads to the ground
Their leaves just fall and wither and die
When your butterfly love comes driftin' by.
I'm just one of a hundred flowers waitin' for your butterfly love
