If It Ain't Love 1932

I'm one person you can safely bet on,
my heart is set on, no one but you.
When I tell you of my love,
you doubt it,
what's wrong about it?
I wish I knew, dear:

If it ain't love,
why should I feel
just like I do?
If it ain't love
why am I here
longing for you?
What can it be,
that's making me
dream of you night and day,
keeping me blue
all the day through
whenever you're away?
If it ain't love,
then it must be
some magic art,
if it ain't love,
how did this song
creep in my heart?
Oh! why do I sigh
to the moon high above?
Please answer me,
what can it be
if it ain't love?

If it ain't love,
why should I feel
just like I do?
If it ain't love
why am I here
longing for you?
What can it be,
that's making me
dream of you night and day,
keeping me blue
all the day through
whenever you're away?
If it ain't love,
then it must be
some magic art,
if it ain't love,
how did this song
creep in my heart?
Oh! why do I sigh
to the moon high above?
Please answer me,
what can it be
if it ain't love?

You say my lovemaking is amusing,
that my enthusing, is not sincere.
This has only made me more persuasive,
don't be evasive,
no need to fear, dear:

If it ain't love,
why should I feel
just like I do?
If it ain't love
why am I here
longing for you?
What can it be,
that's making me
dream of you night and day,
keeping me blue
all the day through
whenever you're away?
If it ain't love,
then it must be
some magic art,
if it ain't love,
how did this song
creep in my heart?
Oh! why do I sigh
to the moon high above?
Please answer me,
what can it be
if it ain't love?

If it ain't love,
why should I feel
just like I do?
If it ain't love
why am I here
longing for you?
What can it be,
that's making me
dream of you night and day,
keeping me blue
all the day through
whenever you're away?
If it ain't love,
then it must be
some magic art,
if it ain't love,
how did this song
creep in my heart?
Oh! why do I sigh
to the moon high above?
Please answer me,
what can it be
if it ain't love?
