When I'm Not Near the Boy I Love lyrics

Oh, my heart is beating wildly

And it's all because you're here

When I'm not near the boy I love

I love the boy I'm near

Every man that wanders by me

Is a flame that must be fanned

When I can't fondel the hand I'm fond of

I fondel the hand at hand

My heart's in a pickle, it's constantly fickle

And not too particul', I fear

When I'm not near the boy I love

I love the boy I'm near

(We're confessing a confession

And we hope we're not verbose)

When I'm not near the kiss that I cling to

I cling to the kiss that's close

My heart's in a pickle, it's constantly fickle

And not too partickle, I fear

When I'm not near the boy I love

I love the boy I'm near
