April 1959



How will he know
That I just adore him,
Live just for him?
How will he know
That's the way that I feel?

How will I show
That my poor heart sighs
To make him realise
What my eyes must reveal?

Am I his type,
How I can I ever tell?
Even his pipe
Gets the love and kissin'
That I know I'm missin'!

And yet, how will he know
That I love the guy so?
I'm too shy, so no, no no no,
He'll never know!

Am I his type,
How I can I ever tell?
Even his pipe
Gets the love and kissin'
That I know I'm missin'!

And yet, how will he know
That I love the guy so?
I'm too shy, so no, no no no,
He'll never know!
