rhymes with rhyme

Name was Valentine,
Baby, be mine,

Said I was sweet,
Oh, would be neat,

If we could cruise
Sometime.

Name was Valentine,
Get in the line,

Said I was sweet,
Oh, what a treat,

If we could bruise,
Sometime.

Name was Valentine,
Girl, you’re fine

Said I was sweet,
Skip that beat,

If we could rhyme
Sometime.
