"You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want To Do It)" lyrics

Dear, Mister Gable
I am writing this to you
And I hope that you will read it
So you'll know
My heart beats like a hammer
And I stutter and I stammer
Every time I see you at the picture show
I guess I'm just another fan of yours
And I thought I'd write and tell you so-o-o-o

You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me love you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it

You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad
But there were times, sir
You made me feel so sad

You made me sigh 'cause
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I think you're grand
That's true
Yes I do
'Deed I do
You know I do

I must tell you what I'm feeling
The very mention of your name
Sends my heart reeling
You know you made me love you

Aw, gee, Mister Gable, I don't wanna bother you
Guess you got a lot of girls that tell you the same thing
And if you don't wanna read this, well, you don't have to
But I just had to tell you 'bout the time I saw you in "It Happened One Night"
That was the first time I ever saw you
And I knew right then you were the nicest fella in the movies
I guess it was 'cause you acted so... well, so natural like
Not like a real actor, at all
But just like any fella you'd meet at school or at a party
Then one time I saw you in a picture with Joan Crawford
And I had to cry a little
'Cause you loved her so much, and you couldn't have her
Not 'til the end of the picture, anyway
And then one time I saw you in person
You were making a personal appearance at the theater
And I was standing there when you got out of your car
And you almost knocked me down
Oh but it wasn't your fault, nah, I was in the way
But you looked at me, and you smiled
Yeah, you smiled right at me as if you meant it
And I cried all the way home just cause you smiled at me for being in your way
Oh, I'll never forget it Mister Gable
Honest Injun, you're my favorite actor

I don't care what happens, let the whole world stop
As far as I'm concerned, you'll always be the top
'Cause you know you made me love you
