S'posin'
Dean Martin · Lay Some Happiness On Me: The Reprise Years (Repri [2002]
S'posin' I should fall in love with you
Do you think that you could love me too
S'posin' I should hold you and caress you
Would it impress you or distress you.
S'posin' I should say for you I yearn
Would you think I'm speaking out of tune
S'posin' I'd declare it would you take my love and share it
I'm not s'posin' I'm in love with you.

S'posin' I should say for you I yearn
Would you think I'm speaking out of tune
S'posin' I'd declare it would you take my love and share it
I'm not s'posin' I'm in love with you...
