I Love Him... Like a Woman Loves a Man Lyrics by Jo Sullivan, Robert Weede, Susan Johnson

The Most Happy Fella (Original Cast Recording)

1956

[ROSABELLA]
I love him
I love him
And he treats me like a baby
He doesn't seem to understand
I love him
And he treats me like a kid
[CLEO]
I know how it is
Don't tell me, I know how it is!
All that modesty and shyness at the start
Kind of worked their way into your little heart
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
He doesn't act like we're married or anything. He's my husband, isn't he?
[CLEO]
I know how it is!
Don't tell me, I know how it is!
All those bashful ways that seemed so very right
They turned out to be the things you've gotta fight
[ROSABELLA]
I love him
Yеs, I love the way he looks and smеlls and feels
[CLEO]
Don't tell me, kid
Tell him
Tell him exactly how!
And like they say in a musical comedy
(spoken)
Here he comes now!
[DOC, spoken]
Take it easy now. You're doin' fine. Soon you'll be walkin' good as new. 
[TONY, spoken]
Ah, what's-a use to walk?
[DOC, spoken]
Now easy, Tony. Don't give up. You're doin' fine. 
[TONY, spoken]
Ah, lemme sit down. What's-a use to walk? I ain't going no place. Hey, Rosabella, what's-a matter? You look at me like-a you...
[ROSABELLA]
I love you, I love you
[TONY, spoken]
That's-a nice. 
[ROSABELLA]
And you treat me like a baby
You just don't seem to understand
[TONY, spoken]
What, Rosabella, what?
[ROSABELLA]
Like a woman loves a man
That's how I love you
[TONY]
Rosabella, nunja say what you mean
[ROSABELLA]
Like a woman needs a man
Darling, I need you
[TONY, spoken]
Ma, I'm old enough to be you papa. 
[ROSABELLA]
I'm no baby
I know what I want
I want holding you very close to me
Just as close to me as I possibly can
[TONY]
Rosabella!
[ROSABELLA]
Not like a child
But like a woman holds a man
That's how I'll hold you
Wouldn't blame you if you ran
Now that I've told you
[TONY, spoken]
Carissima
[ROSABELLA]
I'm no baby
I know what I know
And I know it's my plan
Just to love you
Like a woman loves a wonderful man
[TONY]
Rosabella, Rosabella!
