We belong to a Mutual Admiration Society
My baby and me
We belong to a Mutual Admiration Society
I think he's handsome and he's smart
I thinks that she's a work of art
I say that he's the greatest man
And likewise I'm her biggest fan
I say her kisses are like wine
His kiss is just is good as mine
And that's the way we pass the time of day
My baby and me
We belong to a Mutual Admiration Society
I say now you're the sweetest one
I say, no you're the sweetest one
She claims that I'm a natural wit
He says it's just the opposite
The only fighting that we do is
Just who loves who more than who
And we go on like that from night til dawn
My baby and me
Oh, we belong to a Mutual Admiration Society
Now I do not exaggerate
I think she's nothing short of great
I say that kind of flattery
Will get you any place with me
The way we carry on it tends
To just embarass all our friends
And that is how we'll still be years from now
My baby and me
We belong to a Mutual Admiration Society
My baby and me
We belong to a Mutual Admiration Society
My baby and me
