He Loves Me

He Loves Me - Carmen McRae

He loves me and to my amazement

I love it knowing that he loves me

He loves me true he doesn't show it

How could he when he doesn't know it

Yesterday he loathed me now today he likes me

And tomorrow tomorrow

My teeth ache from the urge to catch him

I'm speechless for I mustn't tell him

It's wrong now but it won't be long now

Before my love discovers that he and I are lovers

Imagine how surprised he's bound to be

He loves me

I love him isn't that a wonder

I wonder why I did not want him

I want him that's the thing that matters

And matters are improving daily

Yesterday I loathed him ah now today I love him ah

And tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

I'm tingling such delicious tingles

I'm trembling what the heck does that mean

I'm freezing that's because it's cold out

But still I'm incandescent and like some adolescent

I'd like to scrawl on every wall I see

He loves me he loves me

He loves me
