I Don't Like Your Tone

You sigh that I should try your love

I'll never be alone

That you are true, you coo, my dove

But I don't like your toneYou were, you murmur, further just

A child, but now you're grown

You hiss that this is bliss, God bless

But I don't like your toneWhat's with all this purring?

Are you a cat?

Why are we whispering?

Love's not like thatWhen near I hear how clear you make

Your so-called feelings known

It's queer, my dear, I fear heartbreak

But I don't like your tone
