It Must Be Him - Ray Conniff, The Singers

Tell myself what’s done is done

I tell myself don’t be a fool

Play the field have a lot of fun

It’s easy when you play it cool

I tell myself don’t be a chump

Who cares, let him stay away

That’s when the phone rings and then I jump

And as I grab the phone I pray:

Let it please be him, dear God above

It must be him, it must be him

Or I shall die (I shall die)

Or I shall die (I shall die)

Hello, hello, dear God above

It must be him, but it’s not him

And then I die (then I die)

That’s when I die (that's when I die)

After a while, I’m myself again

I take the pieces about the floor

Put my heart on the shelf again

You’ll never hurt me anymore

I’m not a puppet on a string

I’ll find somebody, somebody else someday

That’s when the phone begins to ring,

And once again I start to pray:

Let it please be him, dear God above

It must be him, it must be him

Or I shall die (I shall die)

Or I shall die (I shall die)

Hello, hello, dear God above

It must be him, but it’s not him

And then I die (then I die)

That’s when I die (that's when I die)

Hello, hello, dear God above

It must be him, it must be him

Or I shall die (I'll surely die)

Or I shall die (I know I’ll die)
