Why did you let me love you?
Why did you let me fall?
Why should it be
When it's plain to see that you can't see me at all?

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'd 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

I'd be true,
But what's the use of scheming
I Know I must be dreaming
For I don't stand a
Ghost of a chance with you

I don't stand a
Ghost of a chance with 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

I'd be true,
But what's the use of scheming
I Know I must be dreaming
For I don't stand a
Ghost of a chance with you
