Ask Me Again
Michael Feinstein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's the one I've begun to adore
Ask me again
Who's the partner my heart clamors for
Who is the who has me tied in a bow knot
So that I know not just where I'm at
Who is it makes my friends all find
That I've a one-track heart and mind
Let me tell how I fell from the start
One look and then
Couldn't govern the love in my heart
Who is it I searched everywhere for
To care, to care for
My whole life through
Please ask me again
Let shout to the world, it's you
Ask me again
For I'd like to explain it once more
Who thrills me more than the circus of Ringling
Who keeps me tingling from head to toe
Who is it's in my heart to stay
At least forever and a day
Oh, ask me again
Who's the moon and the stars and the sun
Ask me again
Who's the why and the where and the one
Who is it I searched high and low for
Whom will I go for
My whole life through
Please ask me again
'Cause just I love to say it's you
Who is the only one I can see
Whom will I fancy
My whole life through
Please ask me again
Let me shout to the world
It's you
