I've Got a Crush On You
The Ebonaires Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
It's 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 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
