Lyrics
1. Maybe you’d think me bold or rude
To allude to what’s on my mind
That depends you will find
How your mind is inclined
There’s a thing that’s been blossoming
Like a bud in spring since we met
I’d let you speak your mind out
Here’s what you can’t help me find out
Refrain:
What is that something, that little something
Bumping and thumping down in my heart?
I can’t express it, never-the-less it
Must have a name, maybe you’ve felt the same
When you’re near it goes pit-a-pat
Really dear, I don’t know where I’m at
What can such bliss be? Tell me can this be
That little something called Love?
2. Just like you love a feeling too
That I never knew of, before
That just evens the score
Won’t you tell us some more?
I confess it is happiness
But I’m more or less in a daze
May I answer the question?
You might offer a suggestion
