Embraceable You Lyrics by Kiri Te Kanawa

Kiri Sings Gershwin

0

[Verse 1]
Dozens of boys would storm up
I had to lock my door
Somehow I couldn't warm up
To one before
What was it that controlled me?
What kept my love life lean?
My intuition told me
You'd come on the scene
Darling, listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat
And you'll get just what I mean
[Chorus]
Embrace me
My sweet embraceable you
Embrace me
You irreplaceable you
Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me
I love all
The many charms about you
Above all
I want my arms about you
Don't bе a naughty baby
Come to mama, come to mama, do
My sweet embracеable you
[Verse 2]
I went about reciting
"Here's one who'll never fall"
But I'm afraid the writing
Is on the wall
My nose I used to turn up
When you'd besiege my heart
Now I completely burn up
When you're slow to start
I'm afraid you'll have to take the consequences
You upset the apple cart
[Chorus]
Embrace me
My sweet embraceable you
Embrace me
You irreplaceable you
In your arms I find love so delectable, dear
I'm afraid it isn't quite respectable, dear
But hang it
Come on, let's glorify love
Ding dang it
You'll shout "Encore!" if I love
Don't be a naughty papa
Come to baby, come to baby, do
My sweet embraceable you
I need you
My sweet embraceable you
I need you
You irreplaceable you
You're the only one I love, yes, verily so
But you're much too shy, unnecessarily so
So try not
To be so formal, my dear
Are you not
A man who's normal, my dear?
There's just one way to cheer me
Come to mama, come to mama, do
My sweet embraceable you
