Samantha, you're all I'll ever adore, So forgive me, do, If I say to you What I've said so often before. I love you, Samantha, And my love will never die. Remember, Samantha, I'm a one-gal guy. Together, Samantha, We could ride a star and ride it high. Remember, Samantha, I'm a one-gal guy. And if some distant day You decided to say, "Get along, go away, goodbye!" Remember, Samantha, I'm a one-gal guy. Remember, Samantha, I'm a one gal guy.
