But I

She said, "You are awfully late"
He said, "Yes, but I....", then saw her frown
She asked, "Don't you get off at three?"
He said, "Yes, but I....",she said, "Sit down"

She said, "You've got me in such a state"
He said, "Yes, but I....", then saw her tears
She said, "I thought our love was true"
"Will you throw away, these two years?"

She said, "If you leave I'll be so blue,"
He said, "Yes, but would you want this ring?"
With a smile she said, "Of course I do!"
He thought, "Love's not an easy thing!"
