I need your love so badly
I love you, oh, so madly
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'd 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, I'd 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
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
