Absent-Minded Lover

(album: Return Of The Wildest - 1961)

I love you, darling, more and more each day
No kiss but your kiss makes me feel that way
You thrill me completely like nobody can
That's why I love you, Joanne

Joanne?
My name is Suzy, you should be ashamed
You're kissing Suzy, not some other flame
You've known so many other girls, you're always in a daze
You absent-minded lover, you, you'd better change your ways

Change my ways?
But really darling, how can I forget
Those precious moments? I still tingle yet
Oh, the way you trembled when I held you tight
There's no forgetting last night

Last night?
Last night I stayed home reading in my bed
You must have been loving someone else instead
You've known so many other girls, you're always in a daze
You absent-minded lover, you, you'd better change your ways

Change my ways?
No matter, darling, what you've said or done
I promise you, dear, that you're the only one
One thing I'll remember, and this I swear to do
Next week I'll marry you

Next week?
We're supposed to get married at three this afternoon
I'm hoping you'll show up for our honeymoon
You've known so many other girls, you're always in a daze
You absent-minded lover, you, you'd better change your ways!
