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, 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 'til the end of the picture, anyway
And then one time I saw you in person You going to the Coconut Grove One night 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 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 Just 'cause you smiled at me For being in your way Aw, I'll never forget it, Mr Gable Honest angel, you're my favorite actor
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
