Why don't you fall in love with me,
You're drivin' me crazy, baby, try to be gay

You gotta go overboard for someone someday
Believe it or not, it's bound to be
As long as you're not in love with anyone else,

As long as you're not in love with anyone else,
If you have no romantic interest in another person,
Why don't you fall in love with me,
Why not consider developing feelings for me?
You're drivin' me crazy, baby, try to be gay
Your actions and attitude are causing me emotional turmoil, please try to be happy
Will you tell me no, or will you tell me yea,
Do you want to reject me or accept my proposal?
You gotta go overboard for someone someday
At some point, you will need to make a grand gesture for someone you love
Believe it or not, it's bound to be
Whether you believe it or not, you will fall in love eventually
As long as you're not in love with anyone else,
If there is no one else occupying your romantic interest,
Why don't you fall in love with me
Please consider developing feelings for me instead

According to Bing's biographer, Gary Giddins, Bing was 25 years old. Although he was already part of Paul Whiteman's band, Bing is freelancing on this Columbia session with a studio studio orchestra. The roster of musicians is unbelievable: Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey, Bing's best friend and guitarist Eddie Lang, music arranged by Glenn Miller, composed by Cole Porter.

Amazing! Sound recording is sooo late 1920's Tin Pan Alley sounding!! Bing didn't sound like this for long.

What a coincidence. I just watched Midnight in Paris last night and absolutely loved it. Cole and Bing, who could ask for anything more?

A 1:30 minute wait is certainly worth it to hear Bing sing this :)
