lirik lagu ray charles - the man for me (the letter song)
[jeanette]
[speaks as she writes ]
there is nothing doing at night!
[stops writing ]
that’s silly! what can i write?
[writes again]
how i wish that you could be here!
[stops writing]
that’s stupid! can’t think!
oh, dear!
i wish someone could help me!
writing always makes me nervous!
[maurice]
if mademoiselle forgives me-
i am at her service!
[jeanette]
oh!
[maurice]
oh-i’m sorry! allow me!
[jeanette]
it’s such a stupid letter!
[maurice]
i’ll be indebted if you let me help you
[jeanette]
oh, no! i’d be the debtor!
what can i write?
it’s so hard for me.
night after night
is dull as can be.
l’m writing to a girlfriend,
my little marie!
[maurice]
let me see! let me see!
why don’t you write this
as i dictate it.
[she writes as he dictates]
i have met the one man, my dear!
[jeanette]
who is it?
[maurice]
[continuing to dictate ]
on a visit here!
i am so excited tonight!
[jeanette]
excited?
[maurice]
and delighted! dear!
he is so distinguished and sweet,
very debonair yet discreet!
he’s the height of fashion!
[jeanette]
[continuing to write]
my p-ssion’s at fever heat!
[maurice]
he’s so modest all of the while,
[jeanette]
oh, very!
[maurice]
with a merry smile.
he is made of iron. he’s tall.
[jeanette]
gigantic!
[maurice]
with romantic style!
he’s a julius caesar in mind
with apollo’s beauty combined.
so, my little friend, you see
he’s the very man for me!
[jeanette]
i’ll sign my name!
[maurice]
it’ s easy to see
this little note
is sweet as can be.
it’s sure to please your
girlfriend, your
little marie!
now read it for me,
read it for me!
[jeanette]
[reading]
i have met a foolish young man
[maurice]
who is it?
[jeanette]
on a visit here!
i’ll get rid of him if i can.
[maurice]
i’m choking.
[jeanette]
i’m not joking, dear.
he is undistinguished and plain!
very unattractive yet vain!
and he needs a shaking!
[maurice]
i’m taking
the first fast train!
[jeanette]
all he does is grin like a mule!
[maurice]
i’m frowning.
[jeanette]
he’s a clowning fool!
he could never learn how to love!
[maurice]
i’ll grow to-
[jeanette]
he should go to school!
he’s a simple simon in mind.
to describe his looks is unkind.
so, my little friend, you see
he is not the man for me.
