Words of love, so soft and tender
Won’t win a girl’s heart anymore
If you love her then you must send her
Somewhere where she’s never been before
Worn out phrases and longin’ gazes
Won’t get you where you want to go, no
Words of love, soft and tender
Won’t win her
You oughta know by now
You oughta know, you oughta know by now
Words of love, soft and tender
Won’t win her anymore
You oughta know by now
You oughta know, you oughta know by now
Words of love, soft and tender
Won’t win a girl’s heart anymore
If you love her then you must send her
Somewhere where she’s never been before
Worn out phrases and longin’ gazes
Won’t get you where you want to go
Words of love, soft and tender
Won’t win her anymore, anymore
Missing, the intro:
“And now to sing this lovely ballad, here is Mama Cass” with the sound of someone clearing their throat in there somewhere...
