I thought that I knew everything 
That makes this life worthwhile
I'd rave about the pyramids
Beside the River Nile
The Seven Wonders of the World
To me are nothing new
But I run out of adjectives
When I'm describing you

I think you're gorgeous, you're charming
You're stunning, you're perfect, and then some
You've got me dazzled and frantic
Excited, romantic, and then some

I used to think I was cold as could be
But I'll agree the joke is on me
Quick as a wink I knew I had it bad
If love can drive you crazy, then I wanta go mad, I wanta go mad

I'll kiss you, caress you
Spoil you and "yes" you, and then some
I'll be your shadow, your slavey 
Your army and navy, and then some

I cross my heart, I'll be yours from tonight
You've got me right under your thumb
'Cause you're gorgeous, you're charming
You're stunning, you're perfect, and then some

I think you're lovely, you're cunning
You're darling, you're precious, and then some 
Come on and let my persistence 
Break down your resistance, and then some
 
There's something tells me I'm easily led 
And I'm afraid there's danger ahead 
But something tells me I'm under your spell 
If love can make me lovesick, I don't want to get well

You thrill me, you haunt me
I want you to want me, and then some 
Although you're way up above me
I'd love you to love me, and then some 

You've got the looks I have read of in books 
And all other girls can go plumb 
Cuz you're lovely, you're cunning
You're darling, you're precious, and then some

'Cause you're gorgeous, you're charming
You're stunning, you're perfect, and then some!
