Lyrics

  1. To show affection in your direction
    You know I’m fit and able
    I more than merely love you sincerely
    My cards are on the table
    There must be lots of other men you hypnotize
    All of a sudden I’ve begun to realize as follows

Refrain
My one and only
What am I gonna do if you turn me down
When I’m so crazy over you?
I’d be so lonely
Where am I gonna go if you turn me down?
Why blacken all my skies of blue?
I tell you I’m not asking any miracle
It can be done, it can be done
I know a clergyman who will grow lyrical
And make us one, and make us one
So my one and only
There isn’t a reason why you should turn me down
When I’m so crazy over you

  1. It’s time you woke up
    It’s time you spoke up
    My praise you’ve never chanted
    Though we’re not strangers
    You see the dangers
    Of taking me for granted
    And if you cared you should
    Have told me long ago
    Dear, otherwise how in the world
    Was I to know? Oh, listen
