Dear Mr. Gable (You Made Me Love You)

Dear Mr. Gable

I am writing this to you

And I hope that you will read it so you'll know

My heart beats like a hammer

And I stutter and I stammer

Every time I see you at the picture show

I guess I'm just another fan of yours

And I thought I'd write and tell you so



You made me love you

I didn't wanna do it

I didn't wanna do it

You made me love you

And all the time you knew it

I guess you always knew it

You made me happy

Sometimes you made me glad

But there were times, sir

You made me feel so sad

You made me sigh, 'cause

I didn't wanna tell you

I didn't wanna tell you

I think you're grand, that's true

Yes, I do, 'deed I do, you know I do

I must tell you what I'm feeling

The very mention of your name

Sends my heart reeling

You know you made me love you!



Aw, gee, Mr. Gable

I don't wanna bother you!

Guess you got a lotta girls

That tell you the same thing

And if you don't wanna read this

Well, you don't have to

But I just had to tell you about the time

I saw you in "It Happened One Night,"

That was the first time I ever saw you

And I knew right then you were

The nicest fella in the movies!

I guess it was 'cause you acted so, well

So natural like - not like a real actor at all

But just like any fella you'd meet at school or at a party

Then one time I saw you in a picture

With Joan Crawford

And I had to cry a little, 'cause

You loved her so much and you couldn't have her

Not till the end of the picture, anyway



And then one time I saw you in person

You were making a personal appearance at the theatre

And I was standing there when you got out of your car

And you almost knocked me down!

Oh - but it wasn't your fault!

Naw, I was in the way

But you looked at me, and you smiled

Yeah! You smiled right at me as if you meant it

And I cried all the way home

Just 'cause you smiled at me for being in your way!

Aw, I'll never forget it, Mr. Gable

Honest, you're my favorite actor!



I don't care what happens

Let the whole world stop

As far as I'm concerned

You'll always be the top

'Cause you know you made me love you!
