So kindly manage this business for me,

There's a girl I adore, take your keenest dart,

And aim it straight at the Dear One's heart.

My heart iss broke,

undt so am I:

Nobody loves me,

I vonder why?

This Valentine's a fine invention

For bashful chaps, like me,

I need not even sign my name.

A great relief, you see.

If the language of the heart

Be read by love alone,

Say I to thee I can impart

The language of my own.

I've got to write this Valentine,

And send it off to you,

Or, I'm afraid you'd never guess

That I'm your sweetheart true.

Valentines began to be mass produced in the early 1800s, assembled by workers, who combined pictures with lace, ribbons and later on paper lace.
