Lyrics
- There is something I must say
But just hate to discuss
Because I’m shy, I guess that’s why
It’s about me, I mean you
I mean the two of us
If I had no fear
Here’s what you would hear
Chorus
I dream about you, scheme about you
Night time and day
Mad about you, sad without you
When you’re away
No days’ complete, dear
Until we meet, dear
But with our meeting
My heart just stops beating
Riding, walking, thinking, talking
You’re in my heart
Every minute you are in it, near or apart
I can’t express it, but dear can’t you guess
Oh, gee! oh, gosh! oh, golly, I love you
- Faint heart never won fair lady
Teddy, don’t forget
You must be bold, like Knights of old
You have, oh, so many faults
You’re not the type, and yet
Somehow I like you so
Though why, I do know know
