1
When a maiden is wooed by a man
2
His advances she frequently spurns
3
In her anger one day
4
She may send him away
5
Then she's anxious until he returns
6
Until he returns
7
She provokes him as much as she can
8
But she likes him to still persevere
9
Oh, it's very remiss
10
And the danger is this
11
She may do it too often, I fear
12
She may do it too often, I fear
13
Once too often
14
Time after time
15
Doubtless his heart will soften
16
But the day may arrive
17
When she finds out, alack
18
That her lover will leave her
19
And never come back
20
She's refused him just once too often
21
Then that maiden will sit there and sigh
22
For the lesson is bitter indeed
23
Now she's quite wide awake
24
She can see her mistake
25
And for pardon she's longing to plead
26
She's longing to plead
27
She has let all her chances pass by
28
And the moral may clearly be seen
29
For whoever you are
30
It is better by far
31
If you always will say what you mean
32
If you always will say what you mean
33
Once too often
34
Time after time
35
Doubtless his heart will soften
36
But the day may arrive
37
When she finds out, alack
38
That her lover will leave her
39
And never come back
40
She's refused him just once too often
41
Once too often
