Make The Man Love Me Lyrics

1951 Broadway
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn the Musical - Make The Man Love Me Lyrics

The song is written by Dorothy Fields and Arthur Schwartz.

You kissed me once by mistake
Thought I was somebody else.
I felt that kiss and I envied
that somebody else.
I wanted you for myself.
Guess I was shameless and bold.
But I made a plan in my heart,
I've never breathed,
I've never told.

I must try to make the man love me,
Make the man love me now.
By and by, I will make the man happy,
I know how.

He must see how badly I want him,
Want him just as he is.
And may I say that should the man ask me,
I'll be his.

Can I tell the man
Just how dearly blessed we would be?
All the beauty I see so clearly
Oh, why can't he?

So, I pray to heaven above me,
Pray until day grows dim,
For I wait to make the man love me
As I love him.
