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 had 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
'cause I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

What's the good of scheming? I know I must be dreaming
'cause I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
