Lyrics
Well, who’s that a-walkin’ down the street
Pickin’ up those dainty little feet
Who’s the one that catches my eye
Everytime she passes by – gee whizz it’s youEver since we said goodbye
All because of a little white lie
Let me tell you why we parted
Listen now to what my heart saysGee whizz it’s you, you’re the one that’s makin’ me blue
Gee whizz it’s you, you’re the one who can’t be trueLittle darlin’ won’t you hear my plea
Won’t you please come back to me
We can pick up where we started, listen now to what my heart says
Ummmm – gee whizz it’s youLittle darlin’ won’t you hear my plea
Won’t you please come back to me
We can pick up where we started
Listen now to what my heart says
Ummmm – gee whizz it’s youGee whizz it’s you
Gee whizz it’s you
