Why did you let me love you?
Why did you let me fall?
Why should it be when it's plain to see
That you can't see me at all?

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

I thought at last I'd found you
But other loves 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 that I'm the lover
Meant for you, I'd be true

But what's the good of scheming
I know, I must be dreaming
For I don't stand
A ghost of a chance with you

I don't stand
A ghost of a chance with 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 that I'm the lover
Meant for you, I'd be true

But what's the good of scheming
I know, I must be dreaming
For I don't stand
A ghost of a chance with you
