_If she be not so to me, / What care I how fair she be? _ / -- WITHER.
BY OUR OWN JEROME D. KERN, AUTHOR OF / "YOU'RE HERE AND I'M HERE"
I don't care if a girl is fair / If she doesn't seem beautiful to me, / I won't waste away if she's fair as day, / Or prettier than meadows in the month of May; / As long as you are there for me to see, / I don't care and you don't care / How many others are beyond compare -- / You're the only one I like to have around.
I won't mind if she's everything combined, / If she doesn't seem wonderful to me, / I won't fret if she's everybody's pet, / Or considered by all as the one best bet; / As long as you and I are only we, / I don't care and you don't care / How many others are beyond compare, / You're the only one I like to have around.
