YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING I WANT
(Bob Haymes)

as recorded by Blossom Dearie
1959 (released 1961)


You've got something I want,
Something I have long been without.
It's the key that opens heaven's front door,
It's the dream come true that I'm wishing for.

You've got something I want,
I can hear my heart fairly shout!
It keeps tellin' me my moment is near,
That my rainbow's end is waiting right here.

You've got something I want,
Something I have just learned about.
Though it's plain that I need training in explaining what I want,
I'm sure of one thing,
You're that something,
For you've become the one thing I want!

You've got something I want,
Something so mysterious, and yet
It's a vision I can touch with my hand,
It's a marvel mother nature has planned.

You've got something I want,
Darling, what you've got I must get!
Something tells me these illusions are real,
I believe it's true from what I can feel.

You've got something I want,
I've thought of nothing else since we met!
I'm on fire with desire to acquire what I want,
For I know that you are
what so very few are,
And everything that you are I want,
I want!
