In this year of Seventeen-Ninety-Two
Our conventions have been thrown all askew
And I know I'm out of date when I seek one mate
One faithful lover true

To be really in the fashion today
You must have a dozen beaus in your sway
But somehow I don't believe in the modern plan
I want to wait for just one man.

One kiss, one man to save it for
One love for him alone
One word, one vow, and nothing more
To tell him I'm his own
One magic night within his arms
With passion flowers unfurled
And all my life I'll love only one man
And no other man in the world

Laugh all you like at me
I'll find my man, you'll see

One kiss, one man to save it for
One love for him alone
One word, one vow, and nothing more
To tell him I'm his own
One magic night within his arms
With passion flowers unfurled
But all my life I'll love only one man
And no other man in the world
