I need your love so badly
I love you, oh so madly
But I don't stand
A ghost of a chance with you
I thought, at last I found you
But other loves surround you
And I don't stand
A ghost of a chance with you [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/duke_ellington/i_dont_stand_a_ghost_of_a_chance_with_you.html ]
If you'd surrender
Just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover
That I'm the lover meant for you and I'd be true
But what's the use of scheming
I know, I must be dreaming
'Cause I don't stand
A ghost of a chance with you
