Lyrics
- Ever since I met you
I haven’t been the same
I don’t sleep a wink at night
And I’ve lost my appetite
Seems I can’t forget you
And you are all to blame
Don’t say “No”, you know it’s so
You can’t deny it, please don’t try it
Chorus
Who gave me that love-sick feeling
Who started my senses reeling
Who was it when I was blue
Gave me a kiss that grew
Into a red hot furnace
The kind that burns us
And you know who cuddled up closer to me
Who made me feel “bride and groomy”
Who gave me that notion to jump in the ocean
Nobody else but you
- I wrote you a letter
You haven’t answered yet
Seems you just refuse to be
Sweethearts like we used to be
It would be much better
If we had never met
Then if you’d flirt, it wouldn’t hurt
There is no doubt, dear, figure out, dear
