IN SO GIOD HE LOVES ME FOR

NV boy-friend III the city,
Who loves me for my intelleck
And not because I'm pretty.
Oh, I'm so glad he loves me for

For what is charm without in

It's not so much my eyes
That Albert seems to prize:
What staggers him is my artis-

And everytime he kisses me he says
a bit from Tennyson,
So I'm quite sure he loves me for
my brains.
Then everyone is kind indeed
About my education:
My Albert brings me books to read
Which helps the conversation;
And really it is rather fine
How often we discover
That | am like the heroine
And he is like the lover.
Oh. I'm SO glad he loves me fo1

Somehow it improves the who'll

It's not my face or form

But, oh. he does admire my IN

So then l knew he loves me TO
