Can't Get Out Of This Mood

Can't Get Out Of This Mood

All day long, before my eyes come little visions of you;
They shouldn't, they mustn't but they do.

Can't get out of this mood, can't get over this feeling
Can't get out of this mood, last night your lips were too appealing.
The thrill should have been all gone by today, in the usual way,
But it's only your arms I'm out of;

Can't get out of this dream, what a fool to dream of you;
'Twasn't part of my scheme to sigh and tell you that I love you.
But I'm saying it, I'm playing it dumb...
Can't get out of this mood---heartbreak, here I come!

The lonely hours, like dreamy days, the moments away from you.
That voice inside that cries and cries,
"You're through, you're through, you're through!"

Can't get out of this mood, can't get over this feeling;
Can't get out of this mood, your face is too appealing.
The thrill should have been all gone by today,
But it won't go away, so, baby, I'm all set to get you.

I can't get out of this dream that I'm forever dreaming of you.
'Twasn't part of my scheme to want to tell you that I love you.
But I'm saying it, you're still playing it dumb.
Why don't you get in the mood?
You heartbreaker, here I come!
