You Made Me Love You / I Didn't Want to Do It Text

---

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
Me 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!

(singing)
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.
