Lyrics: The Lady Loves Me
She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me, she loves meThe lady loves me and it shows
In spite of the way she turns up her nose
I’m her ideal, her heart’s desire
Under that ice she’s burning like fireShe’d like to cuddle up to me
She’s playing hard to get
The lady loves me
But she doesn’t know it yetThe gentleman has savoir-faire
As much as an elephant or a bear
I’d like to take him for a spin
Back to the zoo to visit his kinHe’s got about as much appeal
As a soggy cigarette
The lady loathes him
But he doesn’t know it yetThe lady’s got a crush on me
The gentleman’s crazy obviously
The lady’s dying to be kissed
The gentleman needs a psychiatristI’d rather kiss a rattlesnake
Or play Russian roulette
The lady loves me
But she doesn’t know it yetShe’s falling fast she’s on the skids
Both of his heads are flipping their lids
Tonight she’ll hold me in her arms
I’d rather be holding hydrogen bombsWill someone tell this Romeo
I’m not his Juliet
The lady loves me
But she doesn’t know it yetShe wants me
Like poison ivy
Needs me
Like a hole in the head
Anyone can see she’s got it bad
Ugh. he’s madThe gentleman is an egotist
I’m simply aware I’m hard to resist
He’s one man I could learn to hate
How’s about having dinner at eight?I’d rather dine with Frankenstein
In a moonlight tête-à-tête
The lady loves me
But she doesn’t know it yetOh yes, she loves me
Dig that shrinking violet
Oh, she really loves me
Here’s one gal you’ll never getShe lo- lo- loves me
Would you like to make a bet?
I said the lady loves me
The gentleman’s all wet
