I've Got A Crush On You Lyrics

Artist: Ella Fitzgerald

How glad the many millions
Of Timothys and Williams
Would be, to capture me
But you had such persistence
You wore down my resistance
I fell, and it was swell
You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never, never know
It's not that you're attractive
But oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view

I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with such emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you

Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you

Plese credit the composers. It is from Porgy and Bess. Written by George and Ira Gershwin. Ella did a great version ...although I like Sarah Vaughn's much better.

I wanted to see the lyrics while listening to a piano rendition by Beegie Adair and ran into the Comments/Interpretations...I think my favorite vocal version is by Linda Ronstadt with Nelson Riddle.But no matter whose version is your favorite, it is truely a beautiful song. Alyssa, I hope this song gets/got your career off to a rousing start.

I remember the first time I heard this song. I was sitting with the younger sister of a friend of mine who had ambitions as a singer. I lost track of her for years, got back in contact with her about7-8 years ago, I think. We were both married, and she had a job as a singer, but I never got a chance to hear her sing professionally. By chance I tried to contact her on Facebook,only to have a notice put up that she had died about 3 years ago. I later found out that she had been depressed and killed herself. A terrible end to a wonderful young woman who I thought had a great future in front of her. Sorry for venting, but I needed to say it. I had actually had a crush on her but it went nowhere. If only things were different and I could have been there for her as a friend,who knows...
