Janie Rothfield and Allan Carr - Love is Teasing

Love is Teasing Tune by Janie Rothfield/Lyrics Traditional with additional verse by Allan Carr

Love is teasing, love is pleasing, and love's a pleasure when first it's new
But as love grows older it soon grows colder and fades away like the morning dew.

I left my mother, I left my father, I left them all, for the love of you
I came so far to this wild country, trusting that your heart was true

If I had known before I courted, that love could be such a killing crime
I'd a locked my heart in a box of gold, tied it up with a silver twine

I never thought that my love would leave me, until one morning when she came in
She pulled up a chair, sat down beside me, then my sorrows they did begin

So turn around you wheel of fortune, turn around and smile on me
for surely there'll be, one honest woman, in this wide world who won't deceive me

Love is teasing, love is pleasing, and love's a pleasure when first it's new
But as love grows older it soon grows colder and fades away like the morning dew.
