Nat "King" Cole — I Am in Love

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 in 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 odds were against me before I had no flair 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 For I am wildly in love with you And so in need of a stampede of love I knew the odds were against me before I had no flair 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 For I am wildly in love with you And so in need of a stampede of love And so in need of a stampede of love
