I weave with brightly colored strings
To keep my mind off other things
So, ladies, let your fingers
Dance
And keep your hands out of romance

Lovely witches
Let the stitches
Keep your fingers under
Control
Cut the thread, but leave
The whole heart whole

Merrry maids can sew and sleep
Wives can only
Sew and weep
Falling in love with love
Is falling for make-believe
Falling in love with love
Is
Playing the fool

Caring too much is juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just
For children in school
I
Fell in love with love one night
When the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes
Unable to see

I fell
In love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me
