Though I know that we meet ev’ry night
and we couldn’t have changed since the last time,
to my joy and delight,
it’s a new kind of love at first sight.
Though it’s you and it’s I all the time
ev’ry meeting’s a marvelous pastime.
You’re increasingly sweet,
so whenever we happen to meet
I greet you …

REFRAIN
With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face.
Just a song at the start
but it’s soon is a hymn to your grace.
When the music swells
I’m touching your hand
It tells that you’re standing near, and ..
At the sound of your voice
heaven opens its portals to me.
Can I help but rejoice
that a song such as ours came to be?
But I always knew
I would live life through
with a song in my heart for you.

Why can’t you behave?
Oh, why can’t you behave?
After all the things you told me,
And the promises that you gave,
Oh, why can’t you behave?

Why can’t you be good?
And do just as you should?
Won’t you turn that new leaf over,
So your baby can be your slave?
Oh, why can’t you behave?

There’s a farm I know near my old home town,
Where we two can go and try settling down.
There I’ll care for you forever,
‘Cause you’re all in the world I crave.
But why can’t you behave?

There’s a farm I know near my old home town,
Where we two can go and try settling down.
There I’ll care for you forever,
‘Cause you’re all in the world I crave.
But why can’t you, oh why can’t you,
Oh why can’t you behave?

It seems we stood and talked like this, before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can’t remember where or when

The clothes you’re wearing are the clothes, you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can’t remember where or when

Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happenin’ again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when

Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happenin’ again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when

When you’re awake, the things you think
Come from the dream you dream
Thought has wings, and lots of things
Are seldom what they seem
Sometimes you think you’ve lived before
All that you live to day
Things you do come back to you
As though they knew the way
Oh the tricks your mind can play

What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?

I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That’s why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?

I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That’s why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?

Following is another version with additional verses:

I was a hum-drum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in thorugh my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again

What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That’s why I ask the Lawd in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?

You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
‘Til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter’s chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?

Wait till you see him
See how he looks
Wait till you hear him laugh.

Painters of paintings
Writers of books
Never could tell the half.

Wait till you feel
The warmth of his glance,
Pensive and sweet and wise.

All of it lovely
All of it thrilling
I’ll never be willing to free him.

When you see him
You won’t believe your eyes
You won’t believe your eyes.

It’s too darn hot!
It’s too darn hot!
I’d like to sup with my baby tonight,
Refill the cup with my baby tonight.
I’d like to sup with my baby tonight,
Refill the cup with my baby tonight,
But I ain’t up to my baby tonight
‘Cause it’s too darn hot

It’s too darn hot!
It’s too darn hot!
I’d like to coo with my baby tonight,
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight.
I’d like to coo with my baby tonight,
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight.
But brother you fight my baby tonight
‘Cause it’s too darn hot

According to the Kinsey Report
Ev’ry average man you know
Much prefers his love-y dove-y to court
When the temperature is low,
But when the thermometer goes ‘way up
And the weather is sizzling hot,
Mister pants for romance is not

‘Cause it’s too, too,
Too darn hot!
It’s too darn hot!
It’s too, too darn hot!
I’d like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight
I’d like to coo with my baby tonight,
Pitch the woo with my baby tonight
But brother, you fight my baby tonight
‘Cause it’s too darn hot!

According to the Kinsey Report
Ev’ry average man you know
Much prefers his lovey dovey to court
When the temperature is low
But when the thermometer goes ‘way up
And the weather is sizzling hot,
Mr. Gob for his squab,
A marine for his queen,
A G.I. for his cutie-pie is not

‘Cause it’s too, too,
Too darn hot!
It’s too darn hot!
It’s too darn hot
It’s too darn hot
It’s too darn hot
It’s too darn hot!

[Verse]:
The men of science are a brilliant clan.
Just think, just think,
They can tell how far it is
From here to a star above.
And yet they cannot measure the safest distance
Between a woman and a man in love.
Since i cannot consult a book of knowledge
That may be lying on the shelf,
I guess i`ll have a confidential discussion
With myself.
[chorus]:
Be wise, be smart, behave my heart,
Don`t upset your cart when she`s/he`s so close.
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet,
Don`t go off your beat,
She`s/he`s too close for comfort.
Too close, too close for comfort,
Please not again.
Too close, too close
To know just when to say, `when`.
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware,
On your guard, take care
While there`s such temptation.
One thing leads to another,
Too late to run for cover,
She`s/he`s much too close for comfort now!
Too close, too close.
She`s/he`s much too close for comfort now.

I’ve been married
, and married, and often I’ve sighed
“I’m never a bridesmaid, I’m always a bride”

I never divorced them, I hadn’t the heart
Yet remember these sweet words, “`till death do us part”

I married many men, a ton of them
Because I was untrue to none of them
Because I bumped off every one of them
To keep my love alive

Sir Paul was frail, he looked a wreck to me
At night he was a horse’s neck to me
So I performed an appendectomy
To keep my love alive

Sir Thomas had insomnia, he couldn’t sleep at night
I bought a little arsenic, he’s sleeping now all right

Sir Philip played the harp, I cussed the thing
I crowned him with his harp to bust the thing
And now he plays where harps are just the thing
To keep my love alive
To keep my love alive

(bridge)

I thought Sir George had possibilities
But his flirtations made me ill at ease
And when I’m ill at ease, I kill at ease
To keep my love alive

Sir Charles came from a sanitorium
And yelled for drinks in my emporium
I mixed one drink, he’s in memorium
To keep my love alive

Sir Francis was a singing bird, a nightingale, that’s why
I tossed him off my balcony, to see if he, could fly

Sir Atherton indulged in fratricide,
He killed his dad and that was patricide
One night I stabbed him by my mattress-side
To keep my love alive
To keep my love alive
To keep my love alive

Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty? Wouldst hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee
I’d feel so rich in a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen I’m sure would do
Give me just a plot of, not a lot of land
And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand

This can’t be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs

This can’t be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love

This can’t be love
Because I feel so well
I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes

This can’t be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs

This can’t be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love

This can’t be love
Because I feel so well
I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes
