Love, love, love, love, Look what you've done to me! The things I never missed Are things I can't resist! Oh love, love, love, love, Isn't it plain to see I just had a change of heart, What can it be? He's got eyes of blue, I never cared for eyes of blue, But he's got eyes of blue, And that's my weakness now! He's got curly hair, I never cared for curly hair, But he's got curly hair, And that's my weakness now! Oh my, oh me, Oh, I should be good, I would be good, But gee! He likes to bill and coo, I never cared to bill and coo, But he likes to bill and coo, So that's my weakness now! He likes saxophone, I never cared for a saxophone, But he likes a saxophone, So that's my weakness now! He likes those rainy days, I never cared for a rainy day, But he likes a rainy day, So that's my weakness now! Oh, let it rain, let it pour, But I think he knows just what it's rainin' for! He likes a long goodnight, I never had a long goodnighty, But he likes a long goodnight, So that's my weakness now! And he likes, And I never cared for, But he likes, So that's my weakness now! What's more, what's more, Oh I think he knows what is for! Regards He likes, I never cared for, But he likes, So that's my weakness now! Oh, that's my weakness now!
