What's the use,
There's no excuse
To be hiding what's on my mind,
Lovin' you is a secret I can't conceal.
Since we met
I've been all upset,
But I've really made up my mind
To confess just exactly the way I feel.

Maybe I can't live to love you as long as I want to,
Life isn't long enough,
Baby, But I can love you as long as I live.
Maybe I can't give you diamonds and things like I want to,
But I can promise you,
Baby, I'm gonna want to as long as I live.
I never cared,
But now I'm scared,
I won't live long enough,
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains
And eat an apple ev'ry day
Then see the doctor anyway.
What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to,
'Long as I promise you,
Baby, I'm gonna love you as long as I live.

Maybe I can't live to love you as long as I want to,
Life isn't long enough,
Baby, But I can love you as long as I live.
Maybe I can't give you diamonds and things like I want to,
But I can promise you,
Baby, I'm gonna want to as long as I live.
I'll even wear
Long underwear
When winter breezes blow,
I'm gonna take good care
Of me because
A sneeze or two might mean the flu,
And that would never, never do.
What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to,
'Long as I promise you,
Baby, I'm gonna love you as long as I live.
