WHAT'S YOUR OPINION?
'Tis my belief, that if you show
Your heart to any one you know,
Or let your cheek with blushes glow,
You shorten Love's dominion:
But if you pause, or seem to be
Indifferent to his urgent plea;
The colder you—the warmer he:
Now tell me your opinion,
Your opinion;
Do tell me your opinion.
Your heart to any one you know,
Or let your cheek with blushes glow,
You shorten Love's dominion:
But if you pause, or seem to be
Indifferent to his urgent plea;
The colder you—the warmer he:
Now tell me your opinion,
Your opinion;
Do tell me your opinion.
'Tis hard when feelings' pulse beats strong
To guard the word that seeks the tongue;
And hide the secret well—and long:
But who would lose dominion?
Who let a little word defeat
The hopes that in their bosoms beat?
Whate'er I felt—he should not see't!
At least, that's my opinion,
My opinion;
At least, that's my opinion!
To guard the word that seeks the tongue;
And hide the secret well—and long:
But who would lose dominion?

The hopes that in their bosoms beat?
Whate'er I felt—he should not see't!
At least, that's my opinion,
My opinion;
At least, that's my opinion!
'Tis said that some are far too nice,
Too over-proud to take advice;
I only pray you to think twice
Before you quit dominion:
The more your looks, your lips, express,
The more you sigh, he'll sigh the less;
'Till he proposed I'd ne'er confess!
At least, that's my opinion,
My opinion;
At least, that's my opinion!
Too over-proud to take advice;
I only pray you to think twice
Before you quit dominion:
The more your looks, your lips, express,
The more you sigh, he'll sigh the less;
'Till he proposed I'd ne'er confess!
At least, that's my opinion,
My opinion;
At least, that's my opinion!
