What Every Girl Thinks

There’s a little bit of Devil in the swagger of your walk,

There’s a little bit of Devil in your sigh.

There’s a little bit of Devil in your senseless loving talk,

There’s a Devil in your laughing, teasing eye.

There’s a little bit of angel in the way you love a girl,

With a reverence that Woman claims her due.

There’s a little bit of Angel in the way you would protect,

Love, and keep her and be tender, kind and true.

Now this Being, Imp and Angel, is a puzzle, I’ll admit,

Guess the answer, Gentle Reader, if you can.

How this queer old combination makes you thrill with admiration,

When you find this Angel-Devil is a Man.
