Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never never know
It's not that you're attractive
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night time give me sigh
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care?
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush my baby on you
Could you coo, could you care?
For a cunning cottage
That we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you
In this song, Frank Sinatra expresses his admiration and love for the woman who has won his heart. He acknowledges the attention he's receiving from many other women but it is the persistence of this particular lady that has worn down his resistance and made him fall for her. Sinatra describes himself as her "big and brave and handsome Romeo" and is bewildered by how he managed to win her over.
