Third Album

Seems like dreams like i always had
Could be, should be making me glad
Why am i blue?
It's up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe, baby, i'll go away
Someday, some way, you'll come and say it's you i need
And you'll be pleading in vain
It had to be you, had to be you
I wondered around, finally found somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad
Thinking of you
Some others i've seen
Might never be mean, might never be cross
I tried to be boss, but they wouldn't do
'cause nobody else gave ma a thrill
With all your faults i love you still
Had to be you, crazy old you, had to be you

We could make believe i love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you? couldn't i? couldn't we?
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss, or two, or three
Might as well make believe i love you
For to tell the truth
I only tell the truth
This time i'll tell the truth
I do!

I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am i...
Could not sleep, would not sleep
Till love came and told me i should not sleep
Bothered and bewildered am i...
Lost my heart, so what of it?
He was cold, i agree,
He can laugh and i love it
Although the laugh's on me;
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the day when i'll cling to him,
Bewitched, bothered so bewildered am i...

Here i go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here i come again
I'm gonna make things hum again
Acting dumb again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover i lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your feet good-bye
I'll hang ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

I had myself a true love
A true love who was something to see
I had myself a true love
At least that's what i kept on telling me
The first thing in the morning
I still try to think of a way to be with him
Some part of the evening
And that's the way i live through the day
I had myself a true love, but now he's gone
And left me for good
The lord knows i don't hear those back yard
Whispers going round the neighborhood
There maybe a lot of things i miss
A lot of things i don't know
But i do know this, now i ain't got no love
And once upon a time i had a true love
In the evening, in the doorway
While i stand there and wait for his coming
With the house swept and the clothes hung
And a pot on the stove where i had meal
Where is he while i waste the rising newel?
Where is he? why'd he gone so soon?
Now there ain't no way that it used to be, what now?
And everybody keeps telling me
There are may be a lot of things i miss
A lot of things i don't know
But i do know this now...
I ain't got no love
And once upon a time i had a true love.
