Louis Prima
Absent-Minded Lover
[Verse 1: Louis Prima]
I love you, darlin', more and more each day
No kiss but your kiss makes me feel that way
You thrill me completely like nobody can
That’s why I love you, Joanne

[Chorus: Keely Smith]
Joanne?
My name is Suzy, you should be ashamed
You're kissing Suzy, not some other flame
You've known so many other girls, you’re always in a daze
You absent-minded lover, you, you'd better change your ways

[Verse 2: Louis Prima]
Change my ways?
But really darlin', how can I forget
Those precious moments? I still tingle yet
Oh, the way you trembled when I hеld you tight
There's no forgettin' last night

[Chorus: Keely Smith]
Last night?
Last night I stayеd home readin' in my bed
You must have been lovin' someone else instead
You've known so many other girls, you’re always in a daze
You absent-minded lover, you, you’d better change your ways
[Verse 3: Louis Prima]
Change my ways?
No matter, darlin', what you’ve said or done
I promise you, dear, that you're the only one
One thing I'll remember, and this I swear to do
Next week I'll marry you

[Chorus: Keely Smith]
Next week?
We’re supposed to get married at three this afternoon
I'm hopin' you'll show up for our honeymoon
You've known so many other girls, you're always in a daze
You absent-minded lover, you, you'd better change your ways!
