I WANT SOMEONE TO FLIRT WITH ME
Words, Sterling & Costello. Music, Albert Von Tilzer.
New York: The York Music Co., 1910.

1. I'm a grownup now and I can't see how
Ev'rybody takes me for a child.
I've a great big heart. If it gets a start,
It sure will love so much 'twill set me wild.
Ev'ryone I know seems to catch a beau.
I'm old enough and now I want one too.
Someone just my size, let me put you wise:
If you flirt with me, I'll flirt with you.

CHORUS: I want someone to flirt with me,
For I'm as lonesome as can be.
Say, you ought to see the eyes that I can make!
Won't somebody notice me, for goodness' sake!
I want someone to love me sure,
But I don't want an amateur.
I want someone to teach me ev'ry thing from A to Z.
I want someone, someone to flirt with me.

2. Once I nearly cried, for one day I tried
Flirting with someone I thought was nice.
We were holding hands on the shining sands.
I guess that party's heart was made of ice.
Not a single kiss; never knew that bliss.
It never cuddled up and held me tight;
So away I stole from that old "North Pole."
Now I want someone to love me right.
