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
