I Get Ideas
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
I get ideas, I get ideas
I want to hold you so much closer than I dare to
I want to scold you 'cause I care more than I care to
And when you touch me and there's fire in every finger
I get ideas, I get ideas
And after we have kissed goodnight and still you linger
I kinda think you get ideas too
Your eyes are always saying the things you're never saying
I only hope they're saying that you could love me too
For that's the whole idea it's true,
The lovely idea that I'm falling in love with you
