LYRICS - I Get A Kick Out Of You: My story is much to sad to be told But practically everything leaves me totally cold The only exception I know is the case When I’m out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui Then I suddenly turn and see Your fabulous face I get no kick from champagne Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all So tell me why should it be true That I get a kick out of you Some, they may go for Cocaine I’m sure that if I took even one sniff It would bore me terrifically too But I get a kick out of you ( Some like the bop-type refrain ) ( I’m sure that if, I heard even one riff ) ( It would bore me terrifically too ) ( But I get a kick out of you ) ( Some they may go for cocaine ) ( I’m sure that if, I took even one sniff ) ( It would bore me terrifically too ) ( But I get a kick out of you ) I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me I get a kick though it’s clear to see, you obviously do not adore me I get no kick in a plane Flying too high with some gal in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do But I get a kick out of you LYRICS - I Who Have Nothing: I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one Adore you and want you so I’m just a no one, with nothing to give you but oh I love you You, you buy her diamonds Bright, sparkling diamonds But believe me, dear, when I say That she can give you the world (sometimes: That you can give her the world) But she’ll never love you the way I love you You can take her any place she wants To fancy clubs and restaurants But I can only watch you with My nose pressed up against the window paneI, I who have nothing I, I who have no one Must watch you, go dancing by Wrapped in the arms of somebody else When darling it is I Who love you
