Judy Garland Dear Mr. Gable: You Made Me Love You lyrics

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 were 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 [Incomprehensible] 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
