I Don't Stand A Ghost Of A Chance With You (09-03-46) - Duke Ellington

I love you oh so madly

I need your love so badly

But I don’t stand a

Ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I had found you

But other arms surround you

And I don’t stand a

Ghost of a chance with you

If you’d surrender just for

A tender kiss or two

You might discover that

I’m the lover meant for you

And I’d be true

So what’s the good of all my scheming?

I know I must be dreaming

For I don’t stand a

Ghost of a chance with you
