Once upon a time I almost lost my mind
I was lonely, so lonely
Once upon a time
Hoping every day things would go my way
Then you came into my life
Now everything is fine
I never knew what love could do till I met you
Now everything is oh so cozy
Now my skies are blue all because of you
I'm so glad; I was lonely
Once upon a time
I love you
For sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart
I love you
And you're were long ment for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling, I'm never lonely
Whenever you're in sight
Je t'aime toi
Pour raisons sentimentales
J'espere que tu me crois
Je t'ai donne mon coeur
I love you
For sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
BOTH: Wo wo wo...
HIM: What's the matter with you, baby, what's the matter?
What did I do wrong?
HER: Do you really wanna know?
HIM: I wanna know, what's the matter with you, baby?
HER: You know that you done me wrong
HIM: Sorry, didn't mean no harm
Oh baby, let me take you out tonight
Make every little thing all right
HER: You know you told me there would never be another
And you know you lied
When you lied, you hurt me, baby
HIM: When I left and I went away
I didn't know how much I loved you until today
HER: Oh baby, leavin' me wasn't right
And now you wanna take me out tonight
HIM: Mary, won't you let me get on your good side?
HER: If I did that, Marvin, it would hurt my pride
HIM: Hey, let me make it up to you if I can
HER: I can't do it, don't you understand?
HIM: What's the matter with you, baby, what's the matter?
HER: I told you that you done me wrong
HIM: Well, can you forgive me, Mary, please forgive me?
HER: I'll try, but it'll take some time
HIM: Hurry up, hurry up, before I lose my mind
HER: I've got a feelin' everything is gonna work all right
But you can't take me out tonight
BOTH: Wo wo wo... (and fade)
You came a long way from St. Louis,
you climbed the ladder of success,
I've seen the town and country cars
that were parked out in front of your fancy address.
You came a long way from St. Louis,
you broke a lotta hearts between,
I've seen a gang of gloomy gals
who were doing alright till you came on the scene.
You came here from the middle west,
and certainly impressed the population hereabouts.
Well, baby, I got news for you, I'm from Missouri too.
So natcherly I got my doubts, you got 'em dropping by the wayside,
A feeling I ain't gonna know.
You came a long way from St. Louis,
but baby, you still got a long way to go.
