I need your love so badly

I love you oh so madly

But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I'd found you

But other loves surround you

I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

If you'd surrender

Just for a tender

Kiss or two

You might discover

That I'm the lover

Meant for you

And I'll be true

But what's the good of scheming

I know I must be dreaming

For I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

If you'd surrender

Just for a tender

Kiss or two

You might discover

That I'm the lover

Meant for you

And I'll, I'll be true

But what's the good

What's the good of scheming

I know I must, I must be dreaming

For I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
