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
For I wait to make the man love me
As I love him
