Duke Ellington — (I Don't Stand) A Ghost Of A Chance (With You) lyrics

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

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

'Cause I don't stand
A ghost of a chance with you
