Verse:
You're the inspiration of my fondest dreams,
Here's the situation, this is how it seems,
You can make me happy, You can make me blue,
All I am or hope to be is really up to You.
 
Chorus:
You! Gee! But you're wonderful,
You, lovely You!
You completely satisfy, I'm confessin' that is why,
There's nobody like You.
You! So much depends upon,
You, tell me true,
Will it be my fate at all? Will I ever rate at all,
With somebody like You.
Just to think that You love me,
Makes my future look strong,
I swear by stars above me,
I'm darned if I don't feel like writin' a song, a song about,
You, music and words about,
You, lovely You.
Let me think up phrases for, let me sing out praises for,
Nobody but You.
