  • What does she say?

    Hi.

    I want to ask native speakers of English what does Pola Negri say in one of her songs.
    Here's the text. I miss the bit with the question marks, before "just a thing".
    A Woman Commands (1932) 16mm dupe clip from the moviecontaining the Pola Negri number "Paradise"Pola Negri Roland Young Basil Rathbone H.B. Warner "Paradi...

    Here's the video

    The missing part is 3:55-3:56.

    Here's the text I established based on some lyrics and actual thing she's singing (the versions differ to a big extent).
    Paradise

    I'm just a woman that loved a man
    But our house of love
    Was built on sand
    While it lasted, ah, it was grand
    My love

    We lived in love ... our day's through
    But each night
    And dreams have started anew
    He comes to me as he used to do
    My love

    And then he holds my hand, mm
    And then I understand. mm
    Her eyes afire with one desire
    Then a heavenly kiss
    Could I resist?
    And then he dims the light, mm
    And then he [holds me tight. mm
    His kiss, each fond caress
    They lead the way to happiness]
    He takes me to paradise

    I'm just a woman that lost her man
    I can't have him, so I do what I can
    To get another, another man to love
    ???, just a thing @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@HERE@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
    He may be a beggar, he might be the king
    He might be you, or you, or you
    I'll love him

    If you will my hand, mm
    And then I'll understand, mm
    With eyes afire I'll know you desire
    Then a heavenly kiss, could I resist

    And then you'll dim the light, mm
    And then you'll [hold me tight, mm
    Each kiss, each fond caress, they lead the way to happiness]
    I'll take you to Paradise
