OF ALL THINGS

from 1950 film "The Duchess Of Idaho"
(Al Rinker / Floyd Huddleston 1950)

Connie Haines (film soundtrack)


Of all things,
Just when I thought my heart was free,
Of all things,
You had to turn your charm on me!

Oh what a thrill you gave me,
I knew the heat was on!
Nothin' on earth could save me,
And when we kissed, I was gone!

Of all things,
I was the one who always said
Of all things,
You'll never see me lose my head!

But just when I felt so certain,
Just when I felt so smart,
Well of all things,
I had to lose my heart!

(Of all things,)
Aha, just when I thought my heart was free,
(Of all things,)
Mmmm, you had to turn your charm on me!

Oh what a thrill you gave me, (Wow!)
I knew the heat was on! (Gone!)
Nothing on earth could save me, (Nothin'!)
And when we kissed, I was gone!

Of all things,
I was the one who always said
Of all things,
You'll never see me lose my head!

But just when I felt so certain,
Just when I felt so smart,
Well of all things,
Of all things,
I had to go and lose my heart!
