An American in Paris movie - EMBRACEABLE YOU lyrics

rate me

<br>

Performed by The Orchestra<br>

[INSTRUMENTAL: These lyrics are not in the movie]<br>

Dozens of girls would storm up; <br>

I had to lock my door. <br>

Somehow I couldn't warmp up <br>

To one before. <br>

What was it that controlled me? <br>

What kept my love-life lean? <br>

My intuition told me <br>

You'd come on the scene. <br>

Lady, listen to the rhythm of my heart beat, <br>

and you'll get just what I mean. <br>

<br>

Embrace me, <br>

My sweet embraceable you. <br>

Embrace me, <br>

You irreplaceable you. <br>

Just one look at you -- my heart grew tipsy in me; <br>

You and you alone bring out the gipsy in me. <br>

I love all <br>

The many charms about you; <br>

Above all <br>

I want my arms about you. <br>

Don't be a naughty baby, <br>

Come to papa -- come to papa -- do! <br>

My sweet embraceable you. <br>

<br>

I went about reciting, <br>

"Here's one who'll never fall!" <br>

But I'm afraid the writing <br>

Is on the wall. <br>

My nose I used to turn up <br>

When you'd besiege my heart; <br>

Now I completely burn up <br>

When you're slow to start. <br>

I'm afraid you'll have to take the consequences; <br>

You upset the apple cart. <br>

<br>

Embrace me, <br>

My sweet embraceable you. <br>

Embrace me, <br>

You irreplaceable you. <br>

In your arms I find love so delectable, dear, <br>

I'm afraid it isn't quite respectable, dear. <br>

But hang it -- <br>

Come on, let's glorify love! <br>

Ding dang it! <br>

You'll shout "Encore!" if I love. <br>

Don't be a naughty papa, <br>

Come to baby-- come to baby-- do! <br>

My sweet embraceable you. <br>
