I'M MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU
J Fred Coots / Davis

as rec by Al Bowlly w Reginald Williams & his Futurists  
Feb 8th 1939 London


When first we met, my life was such a gay thing.
You took my heart and you used it for a plaything;
But what can I do?
I'm madly in love with you!

Your every wish, if only you command it,
I must obey, it's hard to understand it;
Yet what can I do?
I'm madly in love with you!

And still, if I should leave you I'd go insane,
I'd lose my mind completely,
'Cause if you smiled so sweetly,
I'd hurry back to your arms!

You make me cry and you feel, in your glory,
A fool am I;  It's still the same old story!
But what can I do?
I'm madly in love with you!
