I'VE GOT TO PASS YOUR HOUSE (TO GET TO MY HOUSE)
(Lew Brown)

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with Richard Wolfe & his Orchestra
1959


I've got to pass your house 
To get my house, 
And that's what makes me blue; 
Just wonderin' who 
Is sittin' with you, 
And doin' the things that I used to do. 
 
I have to close my eyes 
When they meet your eyes, 
For in your eyes I see 
No longin' for me, 
Just deep sympathy, 
A message that says it just had to be! 
 
I may wander here and there, 
Lookin' for a thrill. 
Someone else can make me care, 
I think I care until - 
 
I start to pass your house 
To get to my house, 
I swear I'll move away! 
But then the next day, 
I wake up and say, 
"He may change his mind, 
I guess that I'll stay", 
I'm funny that way, 
I'm funny that way. 
I guess that I'll stay, 
I'm funny that way!  [ends]
