September 20, 1928 from Good Boy |
I'm not one of the greedy kind
All of my wants are simple
I know what's on my mind
I'm not resting until I find
What would make your eyes
Glisten with joy
Now listen big boy
I wanna be loved by you
Just you and nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you alone
I wanna be kissed by you
Just you and nobody else but you
I wanna be kissed by you alone
Bop! Bop! I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than fill the desire
To make you my own
Bop-Bop-Bom-a-Diddle-a-Boom-Ba-Oom!
I wanna be loved by you
Just you nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
Alone! Bop-Bop-a-Diddle-Um!
Baddle-Addle-Ah-Dam!
I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than fill the desire
To make you my own
Bopple-a-Diddle-Um! Poo-Poo-Pah-Doop!
I wanna be loved by you
Just you and nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
Ba-Dum-Ba-Dum-Ba-Dum-Ba-Dum!
