Lyrics: Anon

Believe my sighs, my tears, my dear,
Believe the heart you've won;
Believe my vows to you sincere,
Or Moggy, I'm undone.

You say I'm fickle and apt to change
At every face that's new;
But of all the girls I ever saw,
I ne'er loved one but you.

My hearts was but a lump of ice,
Till warmed by your bright eyes;
But ah, it kindled in a trice
A flame which never dies.

Come take me, try me, and you'll find,
Tho' you say I'm not true,
Of all the girls I ever saw,
I ne'er loved one but you.
