Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
You are the sweetest thing in all creation
But when you fool around the way you do
I must keep my eye on you
I’m goin’ to take you out of circulation
Because it seems to be the only thing to do
Chorus
I don’t want to share you with somebody else
I want you for myself, entirely for myself
I could never spare you to somebody else
I want you for myself, entirely for myself
There is only one of you
No other could be found
I want all or none of you
Don’t pass yourself around
I don’t want to share you with somebody else
I want you for myself, entirely for myself
