Innocent Ingenue Baby Lyrics by William Sharp, Steven Blier

Gershwin: He Loves and She Loves

0

[Verse 1]
Dear little maid of sixteen
I'm here confessing
You have me guessing
Never a girl have I seen
So prepossessing
And yet serene
I don't wish to trouble you
For a yes or no
Still if you see what I mean
It's quite distressing
To wonder so
[Chorus]
Innocent ingenue baby
Say if I fell for you, baby
Would you not love me too, baby, too?
Flappers are not so few, baby
Equally fair to view, baby
Willing to bill and coo, baby, too
But there's a something, somewhere, somehow smiling in your smile
That sets me winking, blinking, thinking every little while
Won't you make a trial?
Innocent ingenue baby
Give me some kind of clue, baby
Tell me the answer, do, baby, do
[Verse 2]
That little slant of your eyes
Is that negation
Or affirmation?
Delicate blushes and sighs
Are they damnation
Or paradise?
Though I seem inquisitive
Tell me, I implore
Are you a vamp in disguise
A mere flirtation
Or something more?
[Chorus]
Innocent ingenue baby
Say if I fell for you, baby
Would you not love me too, baby, too?
Flappers are not so few, baby
Equally fair to view, baby
Willing to bill and coo, baby, too
But there's a something, somewhere, somehow smiling in your smile
That sets me winking, blinking, thinking every little while
Won't you make a trial?
Innocent ingenue baby
Give me some kind of clue, baby
Tell me the answer, do, baby, do
