And I'm in real deep
From the beginning to the end
He was no more than a friend to me
The thought is makin' me hazy
I think I better sit down
Cause like the sweetest serenade
Bet he knows he's got it made with me
Twisting round on a carousel
This speeds' too much to stop
One second I'm thinkin' I'm feeling the lust
And then I feel a lie
Ooh that man is like a flame
And ooh that man plays me like a game
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man
Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man
Now it's like I'm on a mission
Headed everywhere
And if it takes a little long
And it feels a little wrong, who cares?
My baby fits the description
And does it easily
A little Gable, some Astaire
When he dances I can hardly breathe
Someone call a doctor
Need some help to rescue me
One second I'm thinkin' I must be lost
And he keeps on findin' me
Ooh that man is like a flame
And ooh that man plays me like a game
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man
Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man

"You know, I've been calling you for about two days now and I eh...
I wanted to see you darling, I really do, you know, because...
I think of you and eh...
All of me kind of goes a little bit crazy, so eh...
I believe it's a matter darling...
You should phone me, and we will have...
A night at the Cos Bar that neither of us will ever forget.
A beautiful evening of love, lust and paradise.
You can make it nice, call me back.
On Riverside at 42239.
Ciao ciao."

The album entered at number one in the Dutch and United Kingdom album charts and sold over 600,000 copies.
Ugh, more derivative tripe. Sorry, I just chafe at all the revisitation that goes on in the "creative" enterprises. As a design professional, I can assure one and all that there is no creation in the redo. Movies, TV shows, music, architecture, cuisine...pffff!!! It's become all tripe; that's why cows have 3 stomachs, so they can continue to digest what that already ate.
I'm not a religious man, but Ecclesiastes 1:9, dude.
I bet your design is derivative of something, even if you aren't conscious of it. You don't exist in a vacuum, after all.
Also, this song is fun. Not every song needs to be a startlingly new concept wrapped in a never-before-seen package, and thank goodness for that, because we'd only have maybe a dozen songs were that so!
Exactly! What a fun, toe-tappin' song!
This kind of swings. Growin' on me.
You Bet!! RP introduced me to Caro, now I love a LOT of her songs! Thanx RP!
PRO TIP: Don't listen to mainstream radio, and evaluate songs on their own merits instead!
You make me crazy go nuts, if you know what what I mean, and you know who you are.

They have three stomachs so they can produce three times the tripe.
No it's not.
And you're a poo-head.
Oops. Sorry. We're not supposed to attack each other, are we?
........
It's just good funky fun, somewhat like Cab Calloway and other 40s people like Andrews sisters. Good fun
I Agree! GREAT TUNE!! Thanx RP!
Same for me. While youtubing her stuff I ran into a group "Speakeasy 3" also a fun band.
