I'm in a little bit of trouble
And I'm in real deep
From the beginning to the end
He was no more than a friend to me

The thought is makin' me hazy
I think I better sit down
Cause like the sweetest serenade
Bet he knows he's got it made with me

Twisting round on a carousel
This speeds' too much to stop
One second I'm thinkin' I'm feeling the lust
And then I feel a lie

Ooh that man is like a flame
And ooh that man plays me like a game
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man
Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man

Now it's like I'm on a mission
Headed everywhere
And if it takes a little long
And it feels a little wrong, who cares?

My baby fits the description
And does it easily
A little Gable, some Astaire
When he dances I can hardly breathe

Someone call a doctor
Need some help to rescue me
One second I'm thinkin' I must be lost
And he keeps on findin' me

Ooh that man is like a flame
And ooh that man plays me like a game
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man
Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win

Ooh I wanna love that man

Pa da pip pab pa da pa
Dib e dib da pa da pa
Ba da da pip pab pa da da
Da ba dub dib dib pu du pa
Bu du dib dub dib da do to do
Dub e dub do wo do do do
Pib pab pa da tow
Du da tu da dow

Dub dub dub udu dub dow
Ooh, I'm gonna find that man
Dub du dub dub du du dub
You bet ya, I'm gonna find that man
Dub dub dub dub du
Eeh, I'm gonna find that man
Dub dub dub dub du dubu
I'm gonna find that, I'm gonna find that man, mmm

Pa da dub dub dub to to
I'm gonna find that man
(Ooh that man is like a flame
And ooh that man plays me like a game
My only sin is I can't win)
Ooh I wanna love that man
Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man

[Man speaking:]
"You know, I've been calling you for about two days now and I eh...
I wanted to see you darling, I really do, you know, because...
I think of you and eh...
All of me kind of goes a little bit crazy, so eh...
I believe it's a matter darling...
You should phone me, and we will have...
A night at the Cos Bar that neither of us will ever forget.
A beautiful evening of love, lust and paradise.
You can make it nice, call me back.
On Riverside at 42239.
Ciao ciao."

I bet your design is derivative of something, even if you aren't conscious of it. You don't exist in a vacuum, after all.

Also, this song is fun. Not every song needs to be a startlingly new concept wrapped in a never-before-seen package, and thank goodness for that, because we'd only have maybe a dozen songs were that so!


No shit! Very well put!

This song may have been derived from swing, but it doesn't actually swing at all, it's straight time. I met my partner learning to swing dance, and he plays in a Big Band.. That said, I enjoy this and find it toe-tapping, even if it's no good for swingouts and  fast lindy.

What we need is an antidote to people who think they can draw up an entire psychological profile on someone, based on their reaction to a song. I'm a very happy person and this song, which I gave a 5, did nothing to dampen that.

NOVELTY song?!?!?!  Beg pardon, sir, but once upon a time this style was Top 40 popular.  So was Brahms, so I suppose any new music that sounds like a lullaby is a novelty.

Not just you, midigitguy, but all y'all naysayers might want to expand your horizons.

Sheesh.  And I still think it's Johnny Depp's voice.
 
That's why we're here, after all. I love this song although there are others on the album I like better.
