Lyrics
I'll bet he's nice
I'll bet he's twice
As nice as me and it makes me cry
'Cause I remember you and I
Please don't tell me if it's true
Because I'm still in love with you
Pretty darlin' you my pretty darlin'
You pretty darlin you my pretty darlin'

I'll bet he's sweet
(Bed eh oooo)
I'll bet he's neat
(Bed eh oooo)
I'll bet he's funny and that ain't all
I'll bet he shows you quite a ball
Please don't tell me if it's true
Because I'm still in love with you
Pretty darlin' you my pretty darlin'
You pretty darlin you my pretty darlin'

Baby
Don't you ever tell me that you're leaving
Now that you got me to believe in
You are the sunshine and the flower
Come on and make my every hour

I'll bet he's nice
(Bed eh oooo)
I'll bet he's twice
(Bed eh oooo)
As nice as me and it makes me cry
'Cause I remember you and I
Please don't tell me if it's true
Because I'm still in love with you
Pretty darlin' you my pretty darlin'
You pretty darlin you my pretty darlin'

Well it's you
You my darlin'
