Rosemary Clooney (May 23, 1928 – June 29, 2002) was an American singer and actress. She came to prominence in the early 1950s with the novelty hit "Come On-a My House" written by William Saroyan and his cousin Ross Bagdasarian (better known as David Seville, the father figure of Alvin and the Chipmunks), which was followed by other pop numbers such as "Botch-a-Me" (a cover version of the Italian song Ba-Ba-Baciami Piccina by Alberto Rabagliati), "Mambo Italiano", "Tenderly", "Half as Much", "Hey There" and "This Ole House", although she had success as a jazz vocalist.

Maybe I can't live to love you
As long as I want to
Life isn't long enough, baby
But I can love you as long as I live

And maybe I can't give you diamonds
And things like I want to
But I can promise you, baby
I'm gonna want to as long as I live

Well, I never cared, now I'm scared
I won't live long enough
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains
And eat an apple everyday, see the doctor anyway

And what if I can't live to love you
As long as I want to
Long as I promise you, baby
I'm gonna want to as long as I live

Maybe I can't live to love you
As long as I want to
Life just isn't long enough, baby
But I'm gonna love you as long as I live

And maybe I can't give you diamonds
And things like I want to
But I can promise you, baby
I'm gonna want to as long as I live

Well, I never cared, now I'm scared
I won't live long enough
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains
And eat an apple every day, see the doctor anyway

What if I can't live to love you
As long as I want to
Long as I promise you, baby
I'm gonna love you as long I live

I'm gonna love you, love you
Love you long as I live

Just long as I live
Love you as long as I live
Yeah, I'm gonna love you, love you, love you long as I live
I'm gonna love you, love you, I'm gonna love you
Love you
