IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Outside Of That, I Love You

[Verse:]

What makes you think I'm crazy about you?

What makes you think I can't do without you?

I've looked you over carefully

And if I never see you again, it's soon enough for me



[1st refrain:]

I hate the ground you walk upon

I hate the phone you talk upon

I hate 'most ev'rything that you do



I hate the table and the cloth you eat on

I hate the sofa that you rest your seat on



I hate the rouge upon your lips

The polish on your finger tips

I hate your eyes of heavenly blue



I hate the way you sigh, honest I do

Outside of that, I love you



[2nd refrain:]

I hate the way you comb your hair

I hate the flashy clothes you wear

I hate the patent shine on your shoe



I hate the closet that you keep your clothes in

I hate the handkerchief you blow your nose in



I hate the smell of your cigar

The way you lean against a bar

I hate the jokes you tell that are blue



I hate that fancy tie, honest I do

Outside of that, I love you



[3rd refrain:]

I hate the notes you write to me

The verses you recite to me

Your conversation flowing like glue



I hate the way you watch me through your lorgnette

I hate your children that have not been born yet



I hate the dates you fix for me

The cocktails that you mix for me

Those etchings you may want me to view



I hate the way you lie, honest I do

Outside of that, I love you



[4th refrain:]

I hate the song you sing to me

I hate the flow'rs you bring to me

I hate your phony "How do you do?"



I hate the way you always break my dance up

I hate those rubber things that keep your pants up



I hate the cigarette you smoke

The way you kill a funny joke

I hate the brand of gum that you chew



I hate the way you lie, honest I do

Outside of that, I love you



[Alternate lines in 1st chorus:]

I hate that funny little mouth you drink with

That peanut on your shoulders that you think with
