My One And Only 1927 'Funny Face'

[He:] To show affection in your direction,
you know I'm fit and able.
I more than merely love you sincerely,
my cards are on the table.
There must be lots of other men you hypnotize.
All of a sudden I've begun to realize as follows:

My one and only,
what am I gonna do if you turn me down.
When I'm so crazy over you?
I'd be so lonely,
where am I gonna go if you turn me down?
Why blacken all my skies of blue?
I tell you I'm not asking any miracle;
it can be done!
It can be done!
I know a clergyman who will grow lyrical
and make us one,
and make us one.
So my one and only,
there isn't a reason why you should turn me down
when I'm so crazy over you!

My one and only,
what am I gonna do if you turn me down.
When I'm so crazy over you?
I'd be so lonely,
where am I gonna go if you turn me down?
Why blacken all my skies of blue?
I tell you I'm not asking any miracle;
it can be done!
It can be done!
I know a clergyman who will grow lyrical
and make us one,
and make us one.
So my one and only,
there isn't a reason why you should turn me down
when I'm so crazy over you!

[She:] It's time you woke up,
it's time you spoke up,
my praise you've never chanted.
Though we're not strangers,
you see the dangers of taking me for granted.
And if you cared you should have told me long ago;
dear, otherwise, how in the world was I to know?
Oh, listen.

[He:] My one and only,
what am I gonna do if you turn me down.
When I'm so crazy over you?
I'd be so lonely,
where am I gonna go if you turn me down?
Why blacken all my skies of blue?
I tell you I'm not asking any miracle;
it can be done!
It can be done!
I know a clergyman who will grow lyrical
and make us one,
and make us one.
So my one and only,
there isn't a reason why you should turn me down
when I'm so crazy over you!

My one and only,
what am I gonna do if you turn me down.
When I'm so crazy over you?
I'd be so lonely,
where am I gonna go if you turn me down?
Why blacken all my skies of blue?
I tell you I'm not asking any miracle;
it can be done!
It can be done!
I know a clergyman who will grow lyrical
and make us one,
and make us one.
So my one and only,
there isn't a reason why you should turn me down
when I'm so crazy over you!
