I've Got a Crush On You
Lee Wiley & Bobby Hackett Lyrics

How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians

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
The singer is surprised and grateful to have won the listener's affection.

It's not that you're attractive

But, oh, my heart grew active
The listener ignited a passionate feeling in the artist's heart.

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
The artist never expected to fall in love with the listener.

I could fall with so much emotion
The singer has never felt such intense feelings before.

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 on you
