Namely You

Namely You

music by Gene DePaul (right)

lyric by Johnny Mercer (left)

You deserve a gal who's willin'--namely me.

One who'd love to raise your chillun--namely me.

Standin' there in the doorway waitin' at the close of day.

With you all the way to love, honor and obey.

You deserve two arms to hold you. Namely mine.

There to comfort and enfold you rain or shine.

I deserve someone strong and handsome, bashful and shy and true,

And I know just the one who'll do. Namely you.

You deserve a boy who's willin'--namely me.

One who'd love to raise your chillun--namely me.

Comin' home when the work is over at the close of day.

With you all the way to love, honor and obey.

You deserve two arms to hold you. Namely mine.

There to comfort and enfold you rain or shine.

I deserve someone sweet and tender, bashful and shy and true.

And I know just the one who'll do.

Namely you.
