I've Got A Crush On You
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
The lyrics to "I've Got A Crush On You" by The Rat Pack convey a sense of surprise and captivation in falling in love with someone unexpected. The opening lines acknowledge the millions of other potential love interests ("Annabelles and Lillians") who would desire to be with the singer, but it is the persistence and charm of a particular individual that breaks down their resistance and causes them to fall in love. The experience is described as both exciting and splendid.
The next lines further emphasize the singer's bewilderment at winning over this person, stating that they don't understand how it happened or why they were chosen. It is not solely based on physical attractiveness, but rather the person's presence triggers an activation of the singer's heart, evoking strong emotions.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I've got a crush on you" to emphasize the depth and constant presence of their feelings. The term "sweetie pie" adds an endearing tone, while the mention of sighs indicates the longing and admiration felt throughout the day and night. The subsequent lines express surprise in the intensity of their emotions, as they never imagined they could fall in love so deeply.
