(Emile Ricca / Mary Ricca Compton)
Ray Noble and His Orchestra
I should whisper I adore you
Just as any lover would
But I'm always shy before you
'cos I'm misunderstood
When I try a real proposal
Try to say the things I should
Words are not at my disposal
So, what is the good, I'm misunderstood
When I sing a love song tender
Maybe I should knock on wood
Just to make your heart surrender
If I could
Surely now my eyes betray it
I know I'm in love for good
But until my lips can say it
I'm misunderstood
