Straight From The Shoulder 1934 'She Loves Me Not'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 13 Sep 2002

I could sing your praises
with elegant phrases,
describe you and bribe you
with wonderful speeches,
I could sing your praises with grand repartee
but darling I desire to confess my love,
Express my love this way:

I know the words that I use
are simple and not very smart,
but what I say,
I say to you
Straight from the shoulder,
right from the heart.
Others may sing of the Spring,
to them, making love is an art.
But when I sing,
I sing to you
Straight from the Shoulder,
Right from the Heart.
Who cares if others may laugh,
if as a lover I am green;
Who cares, let them all laugh
as long as you know just what I mean.
It's as old as the hills, it's true
to whisper: "I love you, I do,"
but when I say:
"I love you, I do,"
and when I pray that we'll never part
it's straight from the shoulder
right from the heart to you.

I know the words that I use
are simple and not very smart,
but what I say,
I say to you
Straight from the shoulder,
right from the heart.
Others may sing of the Spring,
to them, making love is an art.
But when I sing,
I sing to you
Straight from the Shoulder,
Right from the Heart.
Who cares if others may laugh,
if as a lover I am green;
Who cares, let them all laugh
as long as you know just what I mean.
It's as old as the hills, it's true
to whisper: "I love you, I do,"
but when I say:
"I love you, I do,"
and when I pray that we'll never part
it's straight from the shoulder
right from the heart to you.
