Love me little

Love me little, love me long,

Then we neither can be wrong:

You in giving, I in taking;

There is not a heart breaking

But remembers one touch,

Or maybe seven, of too much.

Love me more than halfway, though.

Let me think, then let me know.

And I promise you the same:

A little wild, a little tame;

Lest it ever seem long:

Tick, tock, ding, dong.
