I KNOW YOUR MOTHER LOVES YOU
From the film "You're Never Too Young" (1955)
(Music: Arthur Schwartz / Lyrics: Sammy Cahn)


Dean Martin (Film Soundtrack) - 1955



I know your Mother loves you
Your Father loves you, too
But their kind of love is no kind o' love
Next to my love for you

Well, I'm sure you find their kisses 
Most satisfactory
But you're gonna hiss the very next kiss
After one kiss from me

Well, your French poodle is off his noodle
Never goes out to play
He guards you night and day
That job is mine I say, say

I know the cop, the mailman
Yes, and the milkman, too
Agree that you're rare
And I more than share their view

So, tell your Father and your Mother
And your Sister and your Brother
And the poodle, too
That they'll never, ever love you like I do

(Instrumental Break)

Well, your French poodle is off his noodle
Never goes out to play
He guards you night and day
Well, that job is mine I say, say

I know the cop, the mailman
Yes, and the milkman, too
Agree that you're rare
And I more than share their view

So, tell your Father and your Mother
And your Sister and your Brother
And the poodle, too
That they'll never, ever love you like I do

As performed by DEAN MARTIN 
in the film "You're Never Too Young":


I know your Mother loves you
Your Father loves you, too
But their kind of love is no kind o' love
Next to my love for you

I'm sure you find their kisses 
Most satisfactory
But you're gonna hiss the very next kiss
After one kiss from me

Your French poodle is off his noodle
Never goes out to play
He guards you night and day
That job is mine I say, say

I know the cop, the mailman
Yes, and the milkman, too
Agreed that you're rare
And I more than share the view

So, tell your Father and your Mother
And your Sister and your Brother
And the poodle, too
That they'll never, ever love you like I do

(This fellah won't love you like a relative)
(This fellah has lots and lots of love to give)

I know your Uncle loves you
Your Aunt that loves you, too (Yes, of course)
But no relative can possibly give
What I could give to you (That's true)

I know your Doctor loves you
Your Dentist loves you, too (I'm not so sure)
No skill with a drill or vitamin pill
Is like my cure for you (You're the Doctor)

Men with millions and plain civilians
For you they'd gladly toil (For little ol' me?)
Texans who drill the soil
Baby, you'd make their oil boil

Soldiers, marines and sailors
Grocers and tailors, too
Agree that you're rare
And I more than share their view

So, tell your Father and your Mother
And your Sister and your Brother
And the Texan, too
That they'll never, ever love you like I do

Oh no, no, they'll never, ever love
Love you like I do
Man, I'm really in love!
