Subject: Lyr Add: YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU (I DIDN'T WANT TO...
From Duke University's 'Historic American Sheet Music' collection:

YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU (I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT)
Words, Joe McCarthy. Music, James V. Monaco. 1913.

1. I've been worried all day long.
Don't know if I'm right or wrong.
I can't help just what I say.
Your love makes me speak this way.
Why, oh why, should I feel blue?
Once I used to laugh at you;
But now I'm crying.
No use denying:
But no one else but you will do.

CHORUS: You made me love you.
I didn't want to do it.
I didn't want to do it.
You made me want you,
And all the time you knew it.
I guess you always knew it.
You made me happy sometimes;
You made me glad;
But there were times, dear,
You made me feel so bad.
You made me sigh, for
I didn't want to tell you.
I didn't want to tell you.
I want some love that's true,
Yes, I do,
'Deed I do,
You know I do.
Give me, give me what I cry for.
You know you got the brand of kisses that I'd die for.
You know you made me love you.

2. I had pictured in my mind
Someday I would surely find
Someone handsome, someone true;
But I never thought of you.
Now my dream of love is o'er.
I want you and nothing more.
Come on, enfold me;
Come on and hold me
Just like you did before. CHORUS
