Don't Give A Dose To The One You Love Most Lyrics - Singles - Shel Silverstein

Yes my dear I must admit that one time I might did 

(And if you grow wiser for me experience) 

Yes my dear I grew wiser in many ways and the thing I learned most 

Is don't give a dose to the one you love most 

No don't give a dose to the one you love most 

Give her some marmelade give her some toast 

You can give her the willings or give her the blues 

But the dose that you give her will get back to you 

I once had a lady as sweet as a song she was my darlin' and she was my dear 

But she had a dose and she passed it along 

Now she's gone but the dose is still here 

So don't give a dose to the one you love most 

Giver her some marmelade give her some toast 

You can give her a partridge up in a pear tree 

But the dose that you give her might get back to me 

If you've got an itchin' if you've got a drip don't sit there wishin' for it to go way 

Cause it won't if there's a thing on the tip of your thing or your lip 

Run down to the clinic today and say 

I won't give a dose
