Lyrics

Screamin' Jay Hawkins   I would cry Perhaps even die If I just thought You'd say goodbye To a love that's true Like I had for you Oh my darling I love you   I've been fair To get my share Of true love Has not been there What can a poor man do? I'm wishing you Were my darling I love you   I know You are not true But my love has no eyes As it is I am a fool But that's exactly how one becomes wise   No one knows Just how love goes Still I [...] For yours to show Please change your mind Before I lose mine Oh my darling I love you   [saxophone solo]   I know That you are not true But my love has no eyes As it is I am a fool But that's exactly how one becomes wise   Every day I hope and pray For you to say You come my way And spend your life with me I'll make you so happy Oh my darling I love you   Oh my darling I love you One more time I say To prove that I really, really love you Oh my darling Beautiful, wonderful Yeaouh! Beautiful darling
