As Recorded in London, July 12, 1951
Café de Paris Orchestra with piano accompaniment by Norman Hackforth
Suddenly my world has altered
Suddenly my step has faltered
Common sense has flown
Here I am alone
Coping with these new sensations
Black despairs and wild elations
Eros with his bow—has laid me low
Why does love get in the way so?
What have I done
That this son-of-a-gun
Should pick on me?
A little while ago my heart was serene and gay
Everything seemed okay
But now I suddenly find—I’ve lost my way
Why does love lead one astray so?
Why, oh why
I want to laugh
I want to cry?
I was gay as a sparrow
Till Cupid’s arrow
Punctured this perfect day
Why does love—get in the way?
