Embraceable You
George Gershwin / Ira Gershwin
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'ld come on the scene
Darling, listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat
And you'll get just what I mean
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 be naughty, baby
Come to mama, come to mama, do...
My sweet embraceable you
