This Girl's In Love With You
Petula Clark · Other Songs - Petula Clark
Yes, I'm in love, who looks at you the way I do?
When you smile, I can tell we know each other very well
How can I show you? I'm glad I got to know you
'Cause I've heard some talk, they say you think I'm fine
This girl's in love and what I'd do to make you mine
Tell me now, is it so? Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking don't let my heart keep breaking
'Cause I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love, in love with this girl
If not, I'll just die
Oh, tell me now, is it so? Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking don't let my heart keep breaking
'Cause I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love, in love with this girl
If not, I'll just die
