Verse:

No one in this world will ever take your place,

Even tho' you lead my heart a merry chase;

And all the while you're innocently playing,

Within a smile, my lonely heart keeps saying:

 

Chorus:

Cherry, Cherry, ain't it a shame,

That you can't be sweet as your name;

Always flirtin', havin' your fun,

Never certain if I'm the one;

But if I am, I'll hang aroun',

'Till you grow up and settle down;

But will ya, while your heart's on a spree,

Cherry, save your loving for me.
