Count Basie & Joe Williams Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't mind telling you in my humble fashion
That you thrill me through with a tender passion
When you said you care, imagine my emotion
I swore then and there, permanent devotion

You made all other men seem blah
Just you alone filled me with, ahh
'S wonderful, 's marvelous

You should care for me

'S awful nice, 's paradise
'S what I love to see
You've made my life so glamorous
You can't blame me for feeling amorous

Oh, 's wonderful, 's marvelous
That you should care for me!
'S magnificque, 's what I seek
You should care for me

'S elegant, 's what I want
'S what I love to see
My dear, it's four-leaved-clover time
From now on my heart's working overtime

'S exceptional, 's no bagatelle
That you should care for

That you should care for
That you should care for me
