THAT'S WHY HE LOVES ME.
Copyright by White Smith Publishing Co.
When people love you in a way they've never loved before.
No matter how you treat them, they will love you more and more.
A creditor called yesterday, and swore some awful swears,
And, as I'd no cash, I couldn't pay, and kicked him down the stairs-and -
Chorus.
That's why he loves me;
That's why he's my friend;
I spoiled his Sunday clothes.
And I broke his Roman nose-
And that's why he loves me.
My mother-in-law's a scorcher-though her love for me's intense,
To-day her tongue commenced to wag. I'd stand no more, I said;
So took the muzzle off the dog and muzzled her instead.
Chorus.
That's why she loves me;
That's why she's my friend.
She'd lay down all our laws,
Now she cannot move her jaws-
And that's why she loves me.
A pious friend once loved me more than words can ever tell,
And one day proved that love he bore for all I had as well.
He sneaked my fifty-dollar watch, which all our friendship marred,
But I put the police on the lad, and got him six mouths' hard-And-
Chorus.
That's why he loves me;
That's why he's my friend.
He took my time from me,
Now he's doing time you see-
And that's why he loves me.
