I love you oh so madly
I need your love so badly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I had found you
But other arms surround you
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

If you'd surrender
Just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover
I'm the lover meant for you
And I'd be true

So what's the good of all my scheming
I know I must be dreaming
For I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
