Butterfly - Performed Live on the Ed Sullivan Show 3/10/1957 Songtext

von Charlie Gracie

You tell me you love me, you say you'll be true.
Then you fly around with somebody new.
But I'm crazy about you, you butterfly.
(Ooo-oo-oo, ooo-oo.)

You're treatin' me mean, you're makin' me cry.
I've made up my mind to tell you goodbye.
But I'm no good without you, you butterfly.
(Ooo-oo-oo.)

I knew from the first time I kissed you,
That you were the troublin' kind.
'cause the honey drips from your sweet lips,
One taste and I'm outta my mind.

I love you so much I know what I'll do.
I'm clippin' your wings, your flyin' is through.
'cause I'm crazy about you, you butterfly.
(Ooo-oo-oo.)

Instrumental break with doo wop stylings:
(Doop, doop, doo-wa, doo-wa, doop, doo-wa,)
(Do-waaaah, doo-wa, doop, doo-wa.)

You tell me you love me, you say you'll be true.
But I'm crazy about you, you butterfly.

You're treatin' me mean, you're makin' me cry.
I made up my mind to tell you goodbye.
But I'm no good without you, you butterfly.
(Ooo-oo-oo.)

I knew from the first time I kissed you,
That you were the troublin' kind.
'cause the honey that drips from your sweet lips,
One taste and I'm outta my mind.

I love you so much I know what I'll do.
I'm clippin' your wings, your flyin' is through.
'cause I'm crazy about you, you butterfly.
(Ooo-oo-oo.)

You butterfly.
(Ahhhh, doo-wa.)
