Lyrics:
When it comes to love
I'm just a miser
Saving every ounce
And spending none
Saving for the day
When in a hideaway
I can give it to that certain one
I've a pound of admiration
And a pound of kisses too
I've a ton of inspiration
And the whole darned thing's for you
From my lips sweet words are stealing
Meant for someone I love too
In my heart a tender feeling
And the whole darned thing's for you
S'posin' I told you
That you could make my dreams come true
S'posin' I told you
Would it really mean a thing to you
I've a home in preparation
With a room all done in blue
On a newly firmed relation
And the whole darned thing's for you
{instrumental interlude}
I've a pound of admiration
And a pound of kisses too
I've a ton of inspiration
And the whole darned thing's for you
From my lips sweet words are stealing
Meant for someone I love too
In my heart a tender feeling
And the whole darned thing's for you
S'posin' I told you
That you could make my dreams come true
S'posin' I told you
Would it really mean a thing to you
I've a home in preparation
With a room all done in blue
What a newly firmed relation
And the whole darned thing's for you
