Raymond Scott And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep, keep
Keep, keep
Keep, keep
When I'm calling you
Dop-dop-dop-dee-dop-dop (All right, all right)
Will you answer too?
Dop-dee-dop-dee-dop-dop-dop
(All time, all time)
That means I offer my love to you to be your own
If you refuse me, I will be blue and waiting all alone
But when you hear my love call ringing clear
(Oh hear, oh hear)
And I hear your answering echo so dear
(Oh echo, oh echo)
Then I will know our love will become true
You'll belong to me, I'll belong to you
