You can't be true, dear.

There's nothing I can say.

I trusted you, dear,

Hoping we'd find a way.

Your kisses tell me

That you and I are through.

But 'll keep loving you

Although you can't be true.

ON A SLOW BOAT TO CHINA

I'm gonna get ya on a slow boat to china

All to myself alone.

Get you and keep you

In my arms evermore.

And leave all your lovers, weepin' on a faraway shore.

Out on the briny

With the moon big and shiny

Melting your heart of stone.

I'm going to get you

On a slow boat to China

All to myself alone.
