I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

I need your love so badly

I love you oh so madly

But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I'd found you

but other loves 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

but what's the good of scheming

I know I must be dreaming

But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
