I need your love so badly
I love you, oh, so madly
But I don’t stand
A ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I’d found you
But other loves surround you
And 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

(bridge)

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
