Though I've tried before to tell (him)
Of the feelings I have for (him) in my heart
Every time that I come near (him)
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start

Chorus :
Every little thing (he) does is magic
Everything he do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for (him) goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days
Since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Chorus

I resolve to call (him) up a thousand times a day
And ask (him) if (he'll) marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Chorus
