Reciprocity

Oh, those jealous girls! I didn't do anything to them. Why

I've been lovely to everybody, and when you're lovely

Everybody should be lovely to you. I learned it from my teacher

Way back in Sunday school. The only way to get along is by the

Golden rule. Although the rule is ancient, it still is up to

Date. It means be nice to others; it means reciprocate. (sung)

So if a fella feels romantic

It's romantic you should be

It's only fair to do your share

It's reciprocity

And suppose he tries to hug you

Should you climb the nearest tree?

Oh no, oh no, you've got to show some

Reciprocity

You look on your porch

And there's a boy next door

You can't chase him home

'Cause what's a little porch for?

So if a fella wants to kiss me

I am full of sympathy

I'm more than glad to help the lad

It's reciprocity

Supposin' he's shy

He needs your help much more

At least you should try

'Cause what are little girls for?

So when I meet that certain fella

And he wants to marry me

I can't do less than answer, "Eh"

It's reciprocity

Reciprocity

Reciprocity

When a lady feels romantic

I must have company

It's only fair to do your share

It's reciprocity

If a lady wants to hug you

Should you turn around and flee?

Oh no, oh no, you've got to show some

Reciprocity

We've made up our minds

La la la la la

The only way to live

Is always be kind

La la la

And even if it hurts, give

So if a fella wants to kiss me

I react quite naturally

I'm not naive, I just believe in

Reciprocity
