Lyrics

Dum-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Dum-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Dum-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Why haven’t I told you?
Oh, baby, I’ve told every little star
Just how sweet I think you are
Why haven’t I told you?
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
I’ve told ripples in a brook
Made my heart an open book
Why haven’t I told you?
Friends ask me, am I in love
I always answer “yes”
Might as well confess
If the answer’s yes
Maybe you may love me, too
Oh, my darling, if you do
Why haven’t you told me?
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Dum-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Dum
Friends ask me, am I in love
I always answer “yes”
Might as well confess
If the answer’s yes
Maybe, you may love me, too
Oh, my darling, if you do
Why haven’t you told me?
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Dum-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Dum-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
