He loves me he loves me not
He loves me he loves me not
It’s been a daisy petal kind of love
The answers I have not got
Leave me searching from within
Never quite sure I was safe and secure
When stories abound how’s the truth to be found
When the balance is gone is there love to be won
Was it your eye I caught or your heart I bought
Believing’s so hard when my trust you discard
My hurt and my pain do you feel the same
Or do you not care for the love we shared
Does my heart bleed alone
How could it feel so strong
How could I have been so wrong
It was paradise in your beautiful eyes
In your grasp I did melt how wonderful it felt
To be held in your arms and courted by your charm
To watch you work to watch you play
To hear “I love you” and wonder
Are these just words you say
With a heart so true I wanted to believe you
For the love and the laughter and the tears that came after
When you can giggle no more and love forever more
The absolute joy, the feelings of bliss
The lies from your lips, the breath of your kiss
I don’t understand about the trust that was banned
What did you see that was so ugly in me
That you hid from my heart
And that still keeps us apart
As the light hits the truth I try to see why
What was it with us that let you lie
Feelings of love I have bound
For confusion I have found
Now I sit here in this shady spot
Picking at daisy petals
He loves me he loves me not
He loves me he loves me not
It’s been a daisy petal kind of love
The answers I have not got
Leave me searching from within
Never quite sure I was safe and secure
When stories abound how’s the truth to be found
When the balance is gone is there love to be won
Was it your eye I caught or your heart I bought
Believing’s so hard when my trust you discard
My hurt and my pain do you feel the same
Or do you not care for the love we shared
Does my heart bleed alone
How could it feel so strong
How could I have been so wrong
It was paradise in your beautiful eyes
In your grasp I did melt how wonderful it felt
To be held in your arms and courted by your charm
To watch you work to watch you play
To hear “I love you” and wonder
Are these just words you say
With a heart so true I wanted to believe you
For the love and the laughter and the tears that came after
When you can giggle no more and love forever more
The absolute joy, the feelings of bliss
The lies from your lips, the breath of your kiss
I don’t understand about the trust that was banned
What did you see that was so ugly in me
That you hid from my heart
And that still keeps us apart
As the light hits the truth I try to see why
What was it with us that let you lie
Feelings of love I have bound
For confusion I have found
Now I sit here in this shady spot
Picking at daisy petals
He loves me he loves me not
