This Guy's In Love With You
Herb Alpert · Other Songs - Herb Alpert
You say this guy
This guy's in love with you
Yes I'm in love
Who looks at you the way I do
When you smile
I can tell
We know eachother 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
Yes I'm in love
And what I 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 be breaking
'Cause
I need your love
I want your love
Say you're in love, in love
With this guy
If not I'll just die
(Trumpet interlude)
Tell me now, is it so
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart be breaking
'Cause
I need your love
I want your love
Say you're in love, in love
With this guy
If not I'll just die
