(Harry Revel / Mack Gordon)
Lew Stone & His Band
I know the words that I use
Are simple and not very smart
But what I say, I say to you
Straight from the shoulder, right from the heart
Others may sing of the spring
To them making love is an art
But when I sing I sing for you
It's straight from the shoulder, right from the heart
Who cares if others may laugh
If as a lover I am green
Who cares, let them all laugh
As long as you know just what I mean
It's old as the hills it's true
To whisper I love I do
But when I say I love you I do
And when I pray that we'll never part
It's straight from the shoulder right from the heart, to you
