Let me tell you about a girl I know
I met her walking down an uptown street
She's so fine, I wish she was mine
I get shook up every time we meet

Talking about you - nobody but you, baby
Nobody but you - yes, you all the time
I do mean you - yeah, my baby
I'm just trying to get a message to you

Let me tell you about a girl I know
Tell me now, she looks so good
Lovely skin, well she's soaked in gin
She ought to be somewhere in Hollywood

Talking about you - I'm talking about my baby
Nobody but you - yes, she's all right

I do mean you - yeah, my baby
I'm just trying to get a message to you

Yeah


Talking about you - nobody but you, baby
Nobody but you - yes, you all the time
I do mean you - yeah, yeah
I'm just trying to get a message to you
 

Let me tell you about a girl I know
Sitting right here by my side
Lovely indeed, that's why I ask if she
Promise some day she will be my bride

Talking about you - yeah I'm talking
Nobody but you - yeah, about my baby
I do mean you - yeah, yeah
I'm just trying to get a message through
 
My baby, too much
Talking about my baby, yeah yeah yeah
Talking about my baby, she's mine
Yeah she's mine, yeah yeah yeah
