Your words go through and through me

And leave me totally dazed

For they do such strange things to me

They nearly make me gloomy



For you dear are so clever

So obviously the top

I wish you'd go on forever

I wish even more you'd stop



Oh, it's bad for me, it's bad for me

The knowledge that you're going mad for me

I feel certain, my friends would be glad for me

But it's bad for me



It's so good for me, so new for me

To see someone in such a stew for me

And when you say, you'll do all you could for me

It's so good for me, it's bad for me



I felt 'til you whispered to me

Completely left on the shelf

But since you started to woo me

I'm just crazy about myself



It's a boon for me, a break for me

To hear that your heart's on the make for me

Yet no matter however appealing

I still have a feeling, it's bad for me



It's so sweet for me, it's swell for me

To feel that you're going through hell for me

Yet no matter however appealing

I still have a feeling, it's bad for me
