I'm in a little bit of trouble
And I'm in real deep
From the beginning to the end
He was no more than a friend to me
The thought is makin' me hazy
I think I better sit down
Cause like the sweetest serenade
Bet he knows he's got it made with me
Twisting round on a carousel
This speeds' too much to stop
One second I'm thinkin' I'm feeling the lust
And then I feel a lie
Ooh that man is like a flame
And ooh that man plays me like a game
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man
Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man
Now it's like I'm on a mission
Headed everywhere
And if it takes a little long
And it feels a little wrong, who cares?
My baby fits the description
And does it easily
A little Gable, some Astaire
When he dances I can hardly breathe
Someone call a doctor
Need some help to rescue me
One second I'm thinkin' I must be lost
And he keeps on findin' me
Ooh that man is like a flame
And ooh that man plays me like a game
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man
Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man

My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man
[Man speaking:]
"You know, I've been calling you for about two days now and I eh...
I wanted to see you darling, I really do, you know, because...
I think of you and eh...
All of me kind of goes a little bit crazy, so eh...
I believe it's a matter darling...
You should phone me, and we will have...
A night at the Cos Bar that neither of us will ever forget.
A beautiful evening of love, lust and paradise.
You can make it nice, call me back.
On Riverside at 42239.
Ciao ciao."

I agree, but sure do love this song. |

Beg pardon, sir, but once upon a time this style was Top 40 popular. So was Brahms, so I suppose any new music that sounds like a lullaby is a novelty. Not just you, midigitguy, but all y'all naysayers might want to expand your horizons. Sheesh. And I still think it's Johnny Depp's voice. |

| Chisel | Posted: Apr 03, 2013 - 13:00 It has been so long since a song had me snapping my fingers to the beat that I had forgotten how good it feels. I'd dance but too many pointy objects in my work environment. Great retro sound! |

| coloradojohn (A Mile High and then some, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Nov 17, 2012 - 09:53 I appreciated this when it came out; thought it was refreshingly retro and jauntily upbeat. Now that I have seen the video, I have to say I like it even more! It re-creates a world evocative of a Long-Lost Time of Romance, right down to the Blake Edwards-style titles flashed and interspersed with her singing and dancing and having such contagious melodious fun. I think that the whole thing is very artistic and cool. Bravo, Caro! |
