I Guess That's What I Get For Loving You - v1

(this version sung by Dale North)

I must admit I'm losing concentration in every way
when someone asks me the time I just haven't a clue
I reach the top of the stair
but then forget why I'm there
I keep on waking to find I was dreaming of you
?deed I do !

I'm losing track of all the little things that I meant to say
I keep forgetting things I was meaning to do
mercy me ! but try as I might
I dream all the day and I can't sleep at night
oh well, I guess that's what I get for loving you

friends say I'm under a spell cos they see I'm all lost and lazy
they're right, I know very well, but loving you so is driving me crazy

my telephone keeps ringing out a tune but I just don't hear
when evening comes I'm counting up stars in the blue
I just stare right out into space
the moon in the sky and the moon on my face
oh well, I guess that's what I get for loving you

sometimes you enter my mind and the scenery goes all hazy
it's paradise that I find, but loving you so is just driving me crazy !

I make a tea but by the time I drink it it's gone stone-cold
I'm at a loss to know how I'm gonna get through
mercy me ! you're here on my brain
I want you so much that you drive me insane
oh well, I guess that's what I get for loving you
I guess that's what I get for loving you
