Always Treat Her Like A Baby 24 Aug 1914 lyrics

1st verse:]
See those sweethearts
They`ve just been married, they`ll be leaving soon
They`re getting ready to begin a lifelong honeymoon
See the old folks crowding around them
Gladness fills the room
Just hear the bride`s old mother
Whispering to the groom

[chorus:]
Treat her like a baby, for she`s only a baby
When you take her with you, lad
You are taking all we had
I know she`ll be a comfort to you like she`s always been to me
So do be kind and keep unhappiness away
And when you find her golden hair is turning gray
Continue to treat her like a baby

[2nd verse:]
See those sweethearts
Rocking a cradle with a baby boy
After a year of wedded bliss, he came to bring them joy
Listen to them planning his future
Hear his father say
`I picture some girl`s mother
Saying to him someday`


[double version:]
I would like to marry you, honey
-You don`t mean it, dear
Honest and truly, won`t you have me?
-You won`t do, I fear
I`ve saved up a bundle of money
-Love you cannot buy
How can I make you love me?
-Dear, would you like to try?
Yes

-Treat me like a baby
You`ll grow tired of it maybe
-Baby names just set me wild
I think you`re a spoiled child
-At night when I grow tired and weary
I`ll hold you on my knee
-And while I sleep
I`ll keep the `boogie-man` away
-I`ll never weep
And when your hair is turning gray
-Continue to treat me
Like a baby
