Butterfly - Performed Live on the Ed Sullivan Show 3/10/1957 Lyrics

You tell me you love me, you say you'll be true.
Then you fly around with somebody new.
But I'm crazy about you, you butterfly.
(Ooo-oo-oo, ooo-oo.)

You're treatin' me mean, you're makin' me cry.
I've made up my mind to tell you goodbye.
But I'm no good without you, you butterfly.
(Ooo-oo-oo.)

I knew from the first time I kissed you,
That you were the troublin' kind.
'cause the honey drips from your sweet lips,
One taste and I'm outta my mind.

I love you so much I know what I'll do.
I'm clippin' your wings, your flyin' is through.
'cause I'm crazy about you, you butterfly.
(Ooo-oo-oo.)

Instrumental break with doo wop stylings:
(Doop, doop, doo-wa, doo-wa, doop, doo-wa,)
(Do-waaaah, doo-wa, doop, doo-wa.)

You tell me you love me, you say you'll be true.
But I'm crazy about you, you butterfly.

You're treatin' me mean, you're makin' me cry.
I made up my mind to tell you goodbye.
But I'm no good without you, you butterfly.
(Ooo-oo-oo.)

I knew from the first time I kissed you,
That you were the troublin' kind.
'cause the honey that drips from your sweet lips,
One taste and I'm outta my mind.

I love you so much I know what I'll do.
I'm clippin' your wings, your flyin' is through.
'cause I'm crazy about you, you butterfly.
(Ooo-oo-oo.)

You butterfly.
(Ahhhh, doo-wa.)
