Lyrics for Bird Of Paradise

Dozens of girls would storm up I had to lock my door Somehow I couldn't warm up To one before What was it that controlled me What kept my love life lean My intuition told me You'd come on the scene Lady listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat And you'll get just what I mean Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you Embrace me, you irreplaceable you Just one look at you my heart grew tipsy in me You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me I love all the many charms about you Above all I want my arms about Don't be a naughty baby, Come to papa come to papa do My sweet embraceable you
