    Tell me, oh please tell me 
         just what’s 		wrong to day,
my little one 
      Oh don’t hide, oh please don’t hide 
         just 		what’s on your mind, my little one 
      Do confide in me and do not hesitate 
My 		little one 
         
      Hurry please, for I must know 
    just what 		the trouble is, precious little one 
       
            Let’s be happy once again and let’s forget, 
        my little one 
        Hand in hand let’s wander down 
        old 		lover’s lane, my little one 
          
        Dry those tears and let me see
        your 
        sweet 	winning smile, charming little one 
          Let me hold you and caress you 
         in these 		loving arms 
        Oh, don’t sulk my dear please,  
    Don’t sulk 		little one  |
