Harry Horsman Poet Lyric

Love Me Tender

Oh! baby let’s play house
no one sided love affair here,
you’re so young and beautiful
and that’s all right, when the
next step is love. 
I Hope darling you’ll always
wear my ring, I’m sure you know
I’m playing for keeps,
although i am just a 
poor boy, from
Memphis Tennessee,
no heartbreak hotel for us,
just a promise of love me tender
whilst I’m loving you.
