lyrics:
I kissed my penny and I threw it in
I prayed I'd keep my soul
Went down to the river where the water bends
The only place I know
Oh I can't see
The forest, for the trees
So, will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
My evergreen
Standin' at the water's edge
The Mississippi's overflowin'
Hold your current in my hands
You bring the meanin' to my moments
Oh I can't see
The forest for the trees
So, will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
My evergreen
Oh, I can't see
The forest, for the trees
Oh, I feel so
Hopeless against the stream
So, will you wait for me? My evergreen
I know it's just as hard in Heaven
So, will you wait for me? My evergreen
I know it's just as hard
My evergreen
Evergreen
My evergreen
okeeee bye! xx meira

lyrics:
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape
The shape of my heart
If I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
But those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape
The shape of my heart

lyrics:
I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feeling like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place
It starts in my toes and I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes, I always know
That you make me smile, please stay for a while now
Just take your time, wherever you go
The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers, staying dry and warm
You give me feelings that I adore
They start in my toes, make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes, I always know
That you make me smile, please stay for a while now
Just take your time, wherever you go
But what am I gonna say
When you make me feel this way?
I just... Mmm
And it starts in my toes, makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes, I always know
That you make me smile, please stay for a while now
Just take your time, wherever you go
I've been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in, just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth
It starts in my soul and I lose all control
When you kiss my nose, the feeling shows
'Cause you make me smile, baby, just take your time now
Holding me tight
Wherever, wherever, wherever you go
Wherever, wherever, wherever you go
Wherever you go, I always know
'Cause you make me smile, even just for a while

Lyrics:
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
So fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
She's running out the door (run)
She's running out
She run, run, run, run,
Run...
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

lyrics:
i’ll follow you
take me where your heart is
the morning dew
shows the storm has started
and when you cry
i’ll be the one to dry your cheek
i’ll follow you
if you’ll let me
you’re like the water
you slip right through my fingers
you’re never there
but the sound of you still lingers
and when i cry
i’ll be the one to dry my eyes
i followed you
i don’t know why

Lyrics:
A country dance was being held in a garden
I felt a bump and heard an "Oh, beg your pardon"
Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams
All around a pug-nosed dream
The music started and was I the perplexed one
I held my breath and said "May I have the next one?"
In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
As we floated over the floor
There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
And perhaps a few things more
Now in a cottage built of lilacs and laughter
I know the meaning of the words "Ever after"
And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
When I kiss the pug-nosed dream
xx jo meira

Lyrics:
Feel like I gotta do it today
Crossing the street, don't look no both ways
I'm duckin' 'em all
Like a week day, yeah, I tried to work around it
But it's not like I...
Think about that you like always
You just fill up some space in an empty brain
I'm going over what it is I might say, I
Don't wanna complicate, its not like I...
Feel deeply about it, or
Seriously about it
It's not like I...
Love you
It's not like I...
Love you
Oh no, so be cool
Just be cool
Gonna tell you in the hopes that it'll go away
I been workin' on my ego, this should set it straight
I'm gonna rush through it quick like a bad date
Probably a big mistake but it's not like I...
Obsess about it in the way it might seem
Or talk reckless 'bout you after few drinks
Just real excited to get it off of my plate
It's your problem now but it's not like I...
Feel deeply about it, or
Seriously about it
It's not like I...
Love you
It's not like I...
Love you
Oh no, so be cool
Just be cool
It's not like I...
Love you
It's not like I...
Love you
So be cool
Just be cool

lyrics!!!!
it isn’t new years
without the sound of tv fuzz
twilight zones
and champagne buzz
we watch the same episode bout fourty thousand times
then we check our phones to see if time has gone by
it’s these kinda nights that i wish you were here
twenty miles away doesn’t feel so near
i guess the midnight phone will have to make do
but it just isn’t new years
without you
(bridge)
there’s some things that make me think of you, my love
like tea stains and morning dew
midnight air and snowy shoes
i’d like to be there to do it all with you
it just isn’t new years without you
xx jo meira
Lyrics:
I kissed someone, it wasn't you
Leaning in like I'm supposed to do
I pulled away and I gasped for him
I didn't feel a single thing
I kissed someone, it wasn't me
Locked inside a slut this eve
All worked up for something dead
I think it's time to go to bed
Put me in a car, I just want to go home
Put me in a bath, I'll forget you are gone
How could it be anyone but you?
xx jo meira
also thanks to PH Karaoke Piano for the piano track! i changed a few things about it to fit my voice better but appreciate the beautiful playing :)
lyrics:
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
I've been having such a great time growing as a musical artist, but of course, wanted to make sure I keep you up to date on my musical journey. I've renamed myself "meira" (RIP Canen) and I'm recording a lot of new music :)
I wrote “New Friends” last year when I went to college and many of my friends stayed home. I felt so lucky but also guilty that I was somewhere new, experiencing new things, and decided to put myself in their shoes and write this song. It was cathartic to write and record, and I think is something we can all connect with after a period of such isolation.
Hope you all are safe and well! More to come..... :)

Lyrics:
Dirt on your heels, you've made a mess
Down by the carpark, high off your head
Honey, don't worry, nobody's angry at any of this
Darling be patient, stare into the vacancy, take a deep breath
And I'll say
Always, I'll wait
For sharp glass when you break
I'll be the light that you can't make
I'll be your eyes, you be my face
'Cause darling, I get scared for you
And I'm not busy anyway
So, in January, 2021, I posted a call on Instagram and TikTok encouraging survivors to anonymously share their own stories, and just hours later, dozens of stories and video clips from all over the world began to roll in. It was incredible. I sat at my computer reading every single entry and just tearing up because it takes so much strength to even write what you've been through. Every survivor is somewhere else in the healing process, but through this, I have never felt more unified and comforted by a group of strangers across the world. I have so much love for every person who participated in this project, or helped it come to life. And thank you to you, for watching, and listening. Share this project. Let our voices be heard.

lyrics:
[Verse 1]
When I wake up in the morning
I don't like my coffee in bed (oh, no)
I start feeling kinda funny
And I'd like some water instead
I don't need a caffeine rush
To get the mush out of my head
I just need the sunshine and the good times
And the rays to get me outta my bed
[Verse 2]
I'll have you know
That my lips are dry
But my eyes don't cry
Yeah, I've been doing just fine (just fine, just fine)
See you got a new girl now
Well it's very much like you to be
Cooped up so quick
Pull out the old time tricks
[Chorus]
I don't need no caffeine rush, no
I don't need no
I don't need no caffeine rush, no
I don't need no

Lyrics:
I'd like you for Christmas
Please make my wish come true
'Cause I'd dream trees and deck the hallways
If I knew you'd be mine for always
I won't be blue on Christmas
If old Saint Nick comes through
And he remembers that I'd like you for Christmas, New Year's, Easter too

Lyrics:
I've wasted so many hours trying to change myself to please you
No, I've wasted so many days trying to stretch myself to see you
I don't believe you
You've been holding me at your door
'cause you don't want me to leave
I've been doing everything I can
to get some relief
But oh, your love has worn me thin
and oh, I'm drowning in you and I can't swim
I'm drowning in you and I can't swim
I'm drowning in you and I can't swim
You've said so many times that you're the one who always takes the fall
but it's so clear to me in my mind but you're the one who's brought on at all
You've been holding me at your door
'cause you don't want me to leave
I've been doing everything I can
to get some relief
But oh, your love has worn me thin
and oh, I'm drowning in you and I can't swim
I'm drowning in you and I can't swim
I'm drowning in you and I can't swim

Lyrics:
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health, and more than wealth,
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So, with my best, my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
xx canen

lyrics:
It's somethin' 'bout you that's so familiar
Somethin' that's got me wantin' to know you
And I can't put my finger on it
But it feels, oh like I've been here before
It's somethin' about me that makes me wonder
I swear I met you, but you're a stranger
And I can't put my finger on quite what it is
Oh, but I've been here before
Maybe it was me who brought you here
I should run the other way, but I stay right here
And I'll be a fool for you
I know myself, but I pretend
I leave and I come back again
I'm a fool for you
I love you time and time again
I know just how the story ends, oh
Oh, you remind me of someone I once knew
Maybe I'm crazy, but it's hard to ignore you
And I can't wrap my head around it
But it feels, oh like I loved you before
Maybe it was me who brought you here
I should run the other way, but I stay right here
And I'll be a fool for you
I know myself, but I pretend
I leave and I come back again
I'm a fool for you
I love you time and time again
I know just how the story ends, oh
canen
Lyrics:
When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
A lovely day
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
A lovely day
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
A lovely day

Lyrics:
I got rhythm, I got music
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
I got daisies, in green pastures
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more ?
Who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more ?
Who could ask for anything more?
I got rhythm, and it's got me
Rhythm

Lyrics:
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gray
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me
xx canen
I'm singing at a funeral tomorrow
For a kid a year older than me
And I've been talking to his dad, it makes me so sad
When I think too much about it I can't breathe
And I have this dream where I'm screaming underwater
While my friends are all waving from the shore
And I don't need you to tell me what that means
I don't believe in that stuff anymore
Jesus Christ, I'm so blue all the time
And that's just how I feel
Always have and I always will
I have a friend I call
When I've bored myself to tears
And we talk until we think we might just kill ourselves
But then we laugh until it disappears
And last night I blacked out in my car
And I woke up in my childhood bed
Wishing I was someone else, feeling sorry for myself
When I remembered someone's kid is dead
Jesus Christ, I'm so blue all the time
And that's just how I feel
Always have and I always will
And it's 4 A.M., again
And I'm doing nothing
Again

Lyrics:
Oh, sometimes I go walking through fields where we walked
Long ago in the sweet used to be
And the flowers still grow, but they don't smell as sweet
As they did when you picked them for me
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever think back on old memories like that
Or do I ever cross your mind
Oh, how often I wish that again I could kiss
Your sweet lips like I did long ago
And how often I long for those two loving arms
That once held me so gentle and close
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever think back on old memories like that
Or do I ever cross your mind
When old memories appear
My eyes won’t stay clear
When I think of those happier times
Do you ever recall those old memories at all
Or do I ever cross your mind
Or do I ever cross your mind

Three little birds sat on my window
And they told me I don't need to worry
Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet
Little girls, double-dutch on the concrete
Maybe sometimes we got it wrong, but it's all right
The more things seems to change, the more they stay the same
Ooo, don't you hesitate
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely
Sipping tea in the bar by the road side
Don't you let those other boys fool you
Gotta love that Afro hairdo
Maybe sometimes we feel afraid, but it's all right
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change
Don't you think it's strange?
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
Was more than I could take
Pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake
I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realize that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to

When I was a little girl
And the Devil would call my name
And I’d say, “Who do, who
Who do you think you’re fooling?”
I’m a consecrated girl
I'm a singer in a Sunday choir
Oh, my mama loves me, she loves me
She gets down on her knees and hugs me
Yeah, she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
She loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me
When I was grown to be a woman
And the Devil would call my name
And I’d say “Who do, who
Who do you think you’re fooling, fooling?”
I’m a consecrated woman
I can snatch a little purity
My mama loves me, she loves me
She gets down on her knees and hugs me
Yeah, she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
She loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me
If I was the President (was the President)
And the Congress called my name (was the President)
And I’d say “Who do, who
Who do you think you’re fooling?” (was the President)
I’ve got the presidential seal
I’m up on the presidential podium
My mama loves me, she loves me
She gets down on her knees and hugs me
Yeah, she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
She loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me
She love me, love me, love me, love me
She love me, love me, love me, love me

lyrics:
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby can't you see through me?
'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love
You wanted nothing
You came out in front
When I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love
You wanted nothing
You came out in front
When I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
xx canen
Oh and happy summer!!!
Lyrics:
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
Its hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
And in case you've ever wondered, another thing to know about me is that Canen is a stage name, not my real name :)

stream my new song, "new friends"!!! levelmusic.lnk.to/Lq9nsk
Here's another Peggy Lee song for ya! This one was recommended in a comment on another video, so thank you to Stan Gabruk :) Just a little side note: I don't approve of the line "chicks were made to give you fever", but I understand that the song is from a different era and I'd rather not change it. Also, please leave questions below for me to answer next week in the Q&A!

lyrics:
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever! in the morning
Fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever! in the morning
Fever all through the night
Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said, "Julie, baby, you're my flame
"Thou giveth fever
"When we kisseth
"Fever with thy flaming youth
"Fever! I'm afire
"Fever, yea, I burn, forsooth."
Cap'n Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said, "Daddy, oh, don't you dare!
"He gives me fever
"With his kisses
"Fever when he holds me tight
"Fever! I'm his missus
"Daddy, won't you treat him right?"
Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
They give you fever
When you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever! till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
Hope you like it!

Lyrics:
I've met my heartache
Drank the bottle dry
My tears of sadness sewn has stained my eyes
I've been let down, some days didn't wanna try
But I stuck around
Lost to the dreamers
Is all I've know
The ups and downs
On this bumpy road
Trying for something that will bring me home
We're all trying to figure it out
I will not let the blues take me
I will not let the blues break me
I've done my time, cried my woes,
No sadness for the taking
One step and then another,
And slowly we discover
It may not be perfect
Or the way we planned
But we're only here for the time at hand
So keep your head high and do the best you can
We're all trying to figure it out
I will not let the blues take me
I will not let the blues break me
I've done my time, cried my woes,
No sadness for the taking
One step and then another,
And slowly we discover
It may not be perfect
Or the way we planned
We're only here for the time at hand
So keep your head high and do the best you can
We're all trying to figure it out
We're all trying to figure it out
We're all trying to figure it out

P.S. Does the end verse remind anyone else of "What a Wonderful World" by Sam Cooke?!
lyrics:
I know a little bit about a lot of things
But I don't know enough about you
Just when I think you're mine
You try a different line
And baby what can I do?
I read the latest news
No buttons on my shoes
But baby I'm confused about you
You get me in a spin
Oh what a stew I'm in
'Cause I don't know enough about you
Jack of all trades master of none
And isn't it a shame
I'm so sure that you'd be good for me
If you'd only play my game
You know I went to school
And I'm nobody's fool
That is to say until I met you!
I know a little bit about a lot of things
But I don't know enough about you
You know I went to school
And I'm nobody's fool
That is to say until I met you!
I know a little bit about a lot o' things
But I don't know enough about you
I know a little bit about biology
And a little more about psychology
I'm a little gem in geology
But I don't know enough about you

lyrics:
Do you ever wonder why a sun sets why you’re a mess?
Feeling so unimpressed
Do you see the mistakes you were granted? Lend me a hand and the garden starts to bloom
Again, again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again, again
Broken windows and full hearts
Dodging a Thrown Dart
Help me please help me
Love me forever in this cold autumn weather
Nothing is gone, nothing is gone
Find your world, even if it’s vanished
A melody of love you thought would leave you perished
Pins and pieces welcome to my sleepless nights
No one by my side
But when the sun sets
And my feelings are undressed
And the darts are caught by a heart that was blinded by your kiss
Find your way out, and value the worth of the gardens sweet bloom and the love from deep inside you
Nothing is gone
Anyway, here's the audio!! This is such a soothing song and I had a lot of fun recording my own rendition :)

lyrics:
Dearly loved
I know it's really rough
This isn't a solution, no no
Just a reminder you're enough
Well demons
Oh they fight for your mind
And they reach at your soul
Let God be in control
So darling put down your flaws
Take off your poison
His blood has erased it for you
If you are weary, the weather is dreary
I've had you in mind
Darling this is the sign
That you've been waiting for now
With the faith of a child
Know it's working out for your good
Know it's working out for your good
Know it's working out for your good
Know it's working out for your good
Ohhhhhhh (lots of em)
So darling put down your flaws
Take off your poison
His blood has erased it for you
So darling put down your flaws
Take off your poison
His blood has erased it for you
His blood has erased it for you
Jesus' blood has erased it for you
xx canen
This ones for you, DD!

lyrics:
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me? Will you be my love
Among the fields of barley?
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Ooh
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold, ooh
xx canen
(some) of the lyrics:
You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I will never, never know
It's not that you're attractive
But, oh my heart grew active
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie-pie
All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo!
Could you care?
For a cunning cottage
We could share
The world will pardon my mush
Cuz I've got a crush, my baby on you
