I'm in Love With You
Dean Martin · Ultimate Collection [2009]
Dean Martin & Margaret Whiting
(Dean Martin)
I'm in love with you but you're in love with Jim (Margaret) I am huh-uh
Jim's in love with Joan but Joan is gone on Slim
Slim just goes for Mae and Mae idolizes Fred
But Fred dreams of the day that he and Kay will wed.
We're on a carrousel turning at a busy pace
Well everyone's in love and no one's getting any place
What's this I hear about Kay
(Margaret)
Oh Kay's in love with Dan but Dan's in love with Sue
(Dean)
Sue says I'm her man (Margaret) says I'm her man
But I've got news for Sue, I'm in love with you.
I went out with Sue so Dan went back to Kay
Fred became so blue that he went back to Mae
Then Mae got on the phone to kind of patch things up with Slim
Slim went back to Joan but she'd gone back to Jim.
Jim figured you and Joan complicated normal life
I know what you mean
So he said goodbye and then he went back to his wife
Then when you could see that you and Jim were through
You came back to me and I've got news for you.
(Both)
I'm in love with you, yes, I'm in love with you...
