I just gotta know you, baby
You will like me
Here are 15 reasons
First, I live and breathe for you
Next, I'm fun to date
If you like to laugh,
Just hang with me
I got a real job, I'm an MD, I'll bring that bacon home
And yes I saw you win on Jeopardy
Go ahead and quiz me
I can cook a meal so tasty
You'll demand them regularly
Oh, and I can kiss real good,
Go ahead, try me
I'm very considerate, dress elegantly
Of course, am trustworthy
Have my pilot's license
Am toned, touch my arm, now squeeze
People say I'm handsome
I'm kind to the elderly
But most of all I love you
That I already know
Give me a chance, my dear
Give me the say so

(Based on a true story)

This is a city with secrets
Surely it knows I'm in love
With one if it's residents
Who is playing hard to get
I can't get enough of her
I want her yes I do
It's just a matter of time
And time can be so cruel

I wander its cobblestones
Thinking what to do
Step by step I plan my moves
I try to play it cool
But this city knows I'm in love
And that I'm no fool
For she's the one
The only one
As I wander through
Its nooks and crannies
Under a jaunty sky of blue

I know I'd be good for her
She's perfection to me
We could live so happily
In this city of secrets
I have got to win her
I know she'll understand
She is my future
I am her man

It’s emotion, my business
I sing songs
Mostly about love
My job is to move the audience
To smiles or a tear
Make people snuggle up
Hold hands, disappear
Into a state of kindness and grace
I try to bring joy to each happy face

What about me?
Well, I’m just like you
I’m a fan of many
Those who croon
Who give life meaning
Who nurture the soul
When I need to dig deep
It’s where I go

So when I hear a special song
I smile and sigh, and find in my eyes
Condensation, a misty memory
That takes me back and aback
At the feeling that comes over me
When music entertains the heart
And yet again, emotion conquers me

I want to be somebody’s somebody
Who will give me a chance?
Somebody must want to be my baby
I believe in romance

Where is my darling?
What must I do?
I’m ready for anything
Just get me to who is the one for me
Fast, if you please

I want to be somebody’s somebody
I want to be in her arms
I just need to find her
With luck I’ll find her charms

Somebody, someday will come to me
Someday my someone will also believe
In stars that align, in dreams that come true
I know she’s out there and believes in us too

I’m the afterthought
Mr. Plus One
Available whenever she needs me
Just not on her mind
Hoping someday she might care for me
That really, she’d be mine

I’m always available
That I know she knows
I’m investing in our future
So I tell myself
That’s the way it goes
I’ll deceive my precious heart
If I must
Indeed, my love grows

I not giving up
No how, no way
I’ve got a hunch
She’s heading my way
Until then I’ll accompany her
Proud to be at her side
Believing that someday
We’ll go on that long ride

It’s a hot summer love
Three dates it took until the kiss
Meet Rachel and Dov
The secret for them: create some mystery
At the end of a long day, she’s his bourbon
The *** is good, they keep it fun
There’s a lot of laughs
He makes her feel beautiful during down times
It’s passion and push towards the other
When she blinks her lashes at him at night
That always gets him.

She’s the light at the end of my tunnel,
The road that takes me home,
The ship that keeps me afloat
And she’s mine alone
Who keeps me together
Gives me hope
Supplies the jokes
Keeps me stoked
Makes it all worthwhile
Down to earth
Always in style
We go good together
One long smile

I love everything about her
Love and affection endlessly
We just roll along an endless road
What should be is now reality

Where was I before her?
Looking for her
When she arrived, so did I
Happy to be her other half
With pride
Ready to please
As long as she is near
I’m happy anywhere

She makes everything beautiful
With her I breathe free
With her, with her
Is where I shall always be
