Ella & Billie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of Timothy's and William's
Would be, to capture me
But you had such persistence
You wore down my resistance
I fell, and it was swell
You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never, never know
But oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with such emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you
In Ella & Billie's song I've Got A Crush On You, the lyrics describe the feeling of a strong attraction towards someone. The first verse refers to the fact that many people may be interested in the singer, but it was the persistence of the one they have a crush on that finally won them over. The lyrics then go on to describe the physical appearance of the person, stating that it is not necessarily their attractiveness that drew them in, but rather the effect that seeing them had on their heart. The chorus repeats the sentiment of having a crush on the object of the singer's affection, using endearing terms like "sweetie pie" and expressing a desire to share a life together.
