Dear Mr Gable/You Made Me Love You Songtext
von Judy Garland

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 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 'till the end of the picture, anyway.
And then one time I saw you in person.
You were making a personal appearance at the theatre,
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! Naw,
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
me just 'cause you smiled at me for being in your way! Aw,
I′ll never forget it, Mr. Gable. Honest. You're my favorite actor!
(singing)
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.
