I Am in Love - Shelly Manne

I am dejected, I am depressed

Yet resurrected and sailing the crest

Why this elation mixed with deflation

What explanation

I am in love

Such conflicting questions rise around my brain

Should I order cyanide or order champagne

Oh, what is this sudden jolt

I feel like a frightened colt

Just hit by a thunderbolt

I am in love

I knew the hours were against me before

I have no flare for flaming desire

But since the gods gave me you to adore

I may lose but I refuse to fight the fire

So, come and enlighten my days and never depart

You only can brighten the blaze that burns in my heart

But I am only in love with you

And so in need of a stampede of love

I’m so in need of a stampede of love

I’m so in need of a stampede of love

I’m so in need of love
