I Don't Like Your Tone Lyrics

You sigh that I should try your love
I'll never be alone
That you are true, you coo, my dove
But I don't like your tone

You were, you murmur, further just a child
But now you're grown
You hiss that this is bliss, God blessed
But I don't like your tone

What's with all this purring?
Are you a cat?
Why are we whispering?
Love's not like that

When near I hear how clear you make
Your so called feelings known
It's queer, my dear, I fear heartbreak
But I don't like your tone

Small corrections:

"You hiss that this is bliss, NOT LUST" - for the rhyme with "just";

"When near MY EAR, how clear you make..."

This is, as far as I'm concerned, the most efficient job of rhyming that anybody has ever done while still making a song that makes sense and has a point. It's awe-inspiring.
