Your butterfly love, just flutters around

Their leaves just fall and wither and die

When your butterfly love, comes driftin' by

I found out just what it is, that you like most of all

To take a little honey, then let our poor hearts fall

How I got mixed up in this, I guess I'll never know

I would like to clip your wings and then tell you no

When your butterfly love, comes driftin' by

I'm just one of a hundred flowers, waitin' for your butterfly love
