The Supremes The Rodgers&Hart Collection Lyrics
1.Bewitched

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am i

I couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me i shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am i

Lost my heart, but what of it?
He is cold, i agree
He can laugh, but what of it?
Although the laugh's on me

I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the days when i'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am i
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am i


2.Blue Moon

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon
You knew just what i was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone i really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms would ever hold
I heared somebody whisper
'please, adore me'
And when i looked
The moon had turned to gold

Blue moon
Now i'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

And then there's suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms would ever hold
I heared somebody whisper
'please, adore me'
And when i looked
The moon had turned to gold

Blue moon
Now i'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own


3.Dancing On The Ceiling

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

He dances overhead
On the ceiling near my bed
In my sight
Through the night

I try to hide in vain
Underneath my counterpane
There's my love up above

I whisper
Go away, my lover, it's not fair
But i'm so grateful to discover
He's still there

I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love

In my sight
All through the night

There's my love up above

I whisper
Go away, my lover, it ain't fair
But i'm so grateful to discover
He's still there

I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love


4.Falling In Love With Love

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

Falling in love with love
Is falling for make believe
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool

Caring too much
Is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust
Is just for children in school

I fell in love with love
One night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see

I fell in love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me!

Falling in love with love
Is falling for make believe
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool

Caring too much
Is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust
Is just for children in school

I fell in love with love
One night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see

I fell in love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me!

Falling in love with love
Falling in love with love
Falling in love with love


5.It Never Entered My Mind

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

Once i laughed when i heard your saying
That i'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind

Once you told me i was mistaken
That i'd awaken with the sun
And ordered orange juice for one
It never entered my mind

You have what i laughed myself
Now i even have to scratch my back myself
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd singing the maiden's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
It never entered my mind


6.I Didn't Know Whattime It Was

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

I didn't know what time it was
Then i met you
Oh, what a lovely time it was
How sublime it was, too

I didn't know what day it was
You held my hand
Warm like the month of may it was
And i'll say it was grand

Grand to be alive, to be young
To be mad, to be yours alone
Grand to see your face, feel your touch
Hear your voice say i'm all your own

I didn't know what year it was
Life was no prize
I wanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes
I'm wise and i know what time it is now
Time it is now
Time it is now

I didn't know what year it was
Life was no prize
I wanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes
I'm wise and i know what time it is now
Time it is now
Time it is now
What time is it?
Time it is now
Anybody know what time it is?


7.Johnny One Note

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

Johnny could only sing one note
And the note he sang was this:
Ah

Poor johnny one note sang out with gusto
And just overloaded the place
Poor johnny one note he yelled willy-nilly
Until he was blue in the face
For holding one not was his ace

Couldn't hear the brass
Couldn't hear the drum
He was in a class
By himself, by gum

Poor johnny one note got in aida
Indeed a great chance to be brave
He took his one note
Howled like the north wind
Brought forth wind that made critics rave
While verdi turned round in his grave!

Couldn't hear the flute
Or the big trombone
Everyone was mute
Johnny stood alone

Sing johnny one note
Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd

Couldn't hear the flute
Or the big trombone
Everyone was mute
Johnny stood alone

Couldn't hear the brass
Couldn't hear the drum
He was in a class
By himself, by gum

Sing johnny one note
Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd


8.Little Girl Blue

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

When i was very young
The world was younger than i
As merry as a carousel

The circustent was strong
With every star in the sky
Above the ring i loved so well

Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsle and gold

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Oh girl you're through
All you can count on are your fingers
Unlucky little girl blue

Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

No use oh girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer little girl blue


9.Lover

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

Lover, when i'm near you
And i hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear you breathe a flame

Lover, when we're dancing
Keep on glancing in my eyes
Till love's own entrancing music dies

All of my future is in you
Your every plan i design
Promise you'll always continue to be mine

Hey lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, i surrender to my heart

I say 'the devil is in you'
And to resist you i try
But if you didn't continue i would die

Lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, i surrender to my heart
What a lover
Yes, he is
Sweet lover


10.Manhattan

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

We'll have manhattan
The bronx and staten island too
It's lovely going through the zoo

It's very fancy
On old delancey street, you know
The subway charmes us so
When balmy breezes blow
To and fro

And tell me what street
Compares with mott street in july
Sweet push carts gently gliding by

The great big city's a wond'rous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn manhattan into an isle of joy

We'll go to yonkers
Where true love conquers in the wilds
And starve together, dear in childs'

We'll go to coney
And eat bologny on a roll
In central park, we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul

And tell me what street
Compares with mott street in july
Sweet push carts gently gliding by

The great big city's a wond'rous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn manhattan into an isle of joy


11.Mountain Greenery

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

In a mountain greenery
Where god paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together
While you love your lover
Let blue skies be your coverlet
When it rains we'll laugh at the weather

And if you're good
I'll search for wood
So you can cook
While i stand looking

Beans could get no keener reception
In a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery home

In a mountain greenery
Where god paints the scenery
Just three crazy people together
How we love sequestering
Where no pests are pestering
No men holds us together

Mosquitoes here
Won't bite you, dear
I'll let them sting
Me on my finger

We could find no cleaner retreat
From life's machinery
Than our mountain greenery


12.My Funny Valentine

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart

Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my fav'rite work of art

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine
Stay!
Each day is valentine's day

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine
Stay, oh stay!
Each day is valentine's day


13.My Heart Stood Still

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

I took one look at you
That's all i meant to do
And then my heart stood still

My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt claps of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still

I took one look at you
That's all i meant to do
And then my heart stopped right there

My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt claps of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still

Baby, i don't wanna walk without you
Baby, i don't wanna talk about you


14.My Romance

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

My romance doesn't have
To have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need
A blue lagoon standing by

No month of may
No twinkling stars
No hide away
No soft guitars

My romance doesn't need
A castle rising in spain
Nor a dance to a constantly
Surprising refrain
Wide awake
I can make my most
Fantastic dreams come true

My romance doesn't need
A thing but you

My romance doesn't have
To have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need
A blue lagoon standing by

No month of may
No twinkling stars
No hide away
No soft guitars

My romance doesn't need
A castle rising in spain
Nor a dance to a constantly
Surprising refrain
Wide awake
I can make my most
Fantastic dreams come true

My romance doesn't need
A thing but you


15.Spring Is Here

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

Spring is here
Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here
Why isn't the waltz entrancing?

No desire,
No ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me

Spring is here
Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear
Why doesn't the night invite me?

Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here i hear

Spring is here
Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear
Why doesn't the night invite me?

Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here
Spring is here
Spring is here i hear


16.There's A Small Hotel

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

There's a small hotel
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there together

There's a bridal suite
One room, bright and neat
Complete for us to share together

Looking through the window
You can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people who needs people

When the steeple bell
Says goodnight sleep well
We'll wish that wishing well
Bring that steeple bell
We'll thank that small hotel together

Not a sign of people who needs people

When the steeple bell
Says goodnight sleep well
We'll wish that wishing well
Bring that steeple bell
Thank that small hotel together


17.The Blue Room

(richard rodgers/lorentzhart)

We'll have a blue room
A new room, for two room
Where every day's a holiday
Because you're married to me

Not like a ballroom
A small room, a hall room
Where you can smoke your pipe away
With my wee head upon your knee

We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With mister and misses
On little blue chairs

I'll wear my trouseau
And robinson crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs

We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With mister and misses
On little blue chairs

I'll wear my trouseau
And robinson crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs


18.The Lady Is A Tramp

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people i hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people i hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp


19.This Can't Be Love

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

This can't be love
Because i feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs

This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love

This can't be love
Because i feel so well
I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes

This can't be love
Because i feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs

This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love

This can't be love
Because i feel so well
I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes


20.Thou Swell

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

Thou swell, thou witty
Thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty ?
Wouldst hold my hand ?

Both thine eyes are cute too
What they do to me
Hear me holler i choose a
Sweet lolla paloosa in thee

I'd feel so rich
In a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen
I'm sure would do

Give me just a plot of
Not a lot of land
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou grand

I'd feel so rich
In a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen
I'm sure will do

Give me just a plot of
Not a lot of land
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou grand


21.Wait Till You See Him

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

You won't believe it
You can't conceive it
You won't believe your eyes

Wait till you see him
See how he looks
Wait till you see him laugh
Painters of paintings
Writers of books
Never could tell the half

Wait till you feel the warmth of his glance
Pensive and sweet and wise
All of it lovely
All of it thrilling
I'll never be willing to free him
When you see him
You won't believe your eyes

Painters of paintings
Writers of books
Never could tell the half

Wait till you feel the warmth of his glance
Pensive and sweet and wise
All of it lovely
All of it thrilling
I'll never be willing to free him
When you see him
You won't believe your eyes


22.Where Or When

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

It seems we stood and talked
Like this before
We looked at each other
In the same way then
But i can't remember where or when

The clothes you're wearing
Are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling
You were smiling then
But i can't remember where or when

Somethings that happen
For the first time
Seem to be happening again

And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when

Somethings that happen
For the first time
Seem to be happening again

And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when


23.With A Song In My Heart

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face
Just a song at the start
But it soon is a hymn to your grace

When the music swells
I'm touching your hand
It tells that me you're standing near

And at the sound of your voice
Heaven opens its portals to me
Can i help but rejoice
That a song such as ours came to be?

But i always knew
I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you


24.You Took Advantage Of Me

(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will
You've made your kill
'cause you took advantage of me

I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow
So what's the use
You've cooked my goose
'cause you took advantage of me

I'm so hot and bothered that i don't know
My elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near

Here am i with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
'cause you took advantage of me

I'm so hot and bothered that i don't know
My elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near

Here am i with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
'cause you took advantage of me
You took advantage of me
