So -tell me why- I’d want you, … -when you -take a -run-ning -start ?

C __/ ___/ _/ ___ C __/ _/ _/ ___ C __/ ___ G __/ _/ _/ __ G __/ _

You -say that you -can’t help it, … -then, go -try and -steal -my heart.

It often -turns out -tra-gic, … -“BAD“, - no mat-ter -what -I say.

C __/ ___/ _/ ___ C __/ _/ _/ ___ C __/ ___ F __/ _/ _/ __ C __/ _

Some-body - real-ly -wants me, … -then he -whisp-ers in -my ear;

C __/ ___/ _/ ___ C __/ _/ _/ ___ C __/ ___ G __/ _/ _/ __ C __/ _

to -tell me, -I’m so -spe-cial, … -when he -hasn’t had -a -beer.

How can we - end up -mar-ried, … -are we -just -mark-ing -time ?

C __/ ___/ _/ ___ C __/ _/ _/ ___ C __/ ___ G __/ _/ _/ __ C __/ _

We -can-not -find a -part-ner, … -hide -ing ‘-feel-ings ’ all the -time.

HER: [A]
C __/ ___/ _/ ___ C __/ _/ _/ ___ C __/ ___ F __/ _/ _/ __ C __/ _

That might -keep me from -leav-ing, …-what are you -try-ing to say ?

-Speak my -name, and -make me -happy, … -so, - I’ll stay another -day.

All Together: ‘ When I’m With You ’ - Curtain Call:


Him - `floozie, how can I ever love you, …we are worlds and worlds apart?

Sweeter than honey
Greater than money
Life is so funny
When I’m with you

Her

Never get angry
Treated like candy
Life is so yummy
When I’m with you

Him

Isn’t so easy
Maybe it’s nutty
Feeling this queasy
When I’m with you

Her

Isn’t it silly
Acting so foxy…
When -I’m -with -you

Him

You are my floozy
So then, …`Darling,
What --can --I --do?
