I've Got a Crush on You
Stacey Kent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 on you

How glad the many millions of timothies and lillians
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
Its not that you're attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
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
Yes I've got crush my baby on you

Overall Meaning

Stacey Kent's "I've Got a Crush on You" is a charming and romantic ode to falling deeply in love with someone. The lyrics express the feelings of utter infatuation the singer has for her beloved. The use of the term "sweetie pie" suggests that the person being addressed holds a special place in the singer's heart.


The opening lines of the song make it clear that the singer is smitten, as she confesses to having a crush on her love interest. The use of the phrase "give me sigh" suggests that this infatuation is more than just a fleeting fancy. The second verse suggests that the singer has fallen with great emotion, which is a powerful sentiment in any relationship.


The chorus is a plea for the object of her affection to love her back. She asks if they could "coo" and "care" together in a "cunning cottage". The final lines of the song show that the singer knows that her mushy, love-struck feelings might be seen as foolish, but she simply cannot help the way she feels.

I used to work in a recordstore and I played Dreamsville quite a lot. I must've sold about a 100 copies just by playing it and people just stopped and asked me who this was (or often: Is this Norah Jones?). This music and her way of delivering it is truly magical. If this doesn't spark any sort of emotion you're truly dead inside. I'll never grow tired of it. sgpnc:Blossom Dearie is magic too!

I can't believe people would give this beautiful music a thumbs down.

My goodness, her voice is beautiful.

Very, very good. Stacey Kent is my favourite modern Jazz singer. She manages to bring exciting little twists to the old hits we all know and love. Not to blow my own horn, but I've uploaded an instrumental version of the same song by the Oscar Peterson Trio, which is nice as well. Check it out if you want.

Tremendous Voice. Turn the lights down low and just imagine that a voice like hers can make anyone realize how wonderful it is to love some one. Keep this music in the hearts of people who appreciate great arrangements. This is without a doubt a stand out in Music. Thank You for posting this masterpiece. Much appreciated.

This delightfully sweet music definitely does have it's place in this day and age with so much frantic, maniac noise that is called music. Love you, Stacy!!
