I need your love so badly
I love you oh so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last I found you
But other loves surround you
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

If you'd surrender
Just for a tender
Kiss or two
You might discover
That I'm the lover
Meant for you
And I'd be true

But what's the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
For I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
What's the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
'cause I don't stand
A ghost of a chance
With you
