Who had the boys turning handsprings,
Crazy to love her, claimed she?
Who could so misunderstand things?
You're lookin' at me!

Who was so sure of her conquest,
Sure as a human could be?
Who wound up losing the conquest?
You're lookin' at me!
You're lookin'g at me!

Where is that girl
Who was certain her charms couldn't fail?
Where is that girl
Who believed every word of this ridiculous tale?

Who was so childishly flattered,
Thought she'd swept him off his feet?
Who woke to find her dream shattered?
Might I repeat,
Might I repeat,
For you needn't strain your eyes
To see what I want you to see;
That's right, you're looking at me,
Lookin' at me!
