Irving Berlin

Whose Little Heart Are You Breaking Now?

Irving Berlin


[1st verse:]
Butterfly, you're like a butterfly, baby vampire
Thro' the year, you're sipping honey here and there
Your love is like a blushing rose
It just comes and goes
Butterfly, you're just a butterfly,
With your string of helpless beaux

[Refrain:]
Whose little heart are you breaking now, little butterfly?
Who is the one that you're shaking now, little butterfly?

Who keeps on ringing
Your telephone, one-two-three-four?
Who keeps on singing
"What do you want to make those eyes at me for?"

Who sends you candy and flowers now, little butterfly?
Spending above what his folks allow

I wonder whose feelings you're hurting
When he catches you flirting
Whose little heart are you breaking now?

[2nd verse:]
Seems to me, you're like a bumblebee, baby vampire
Buzzing 'round, but never settling down, that's you!
Why don't you give up stinging hearts?
Don't you know it smarts?
Taking them and simply breaking them
In a thousand diff'rent parts?
