IRVING BERLIN lyrics - It Isn't What He Said, But The Way He Said It!

[1st verse:]

Happy, I'm so happy

I could throw myself away

Some peculiar something

Keeps my heart a-jumping

Both night and day

Say!

Stupid Mister Cupid

Went and pierced me thro' the heart

I've been fascinated

Simply captivated

Captured from the start



[Refrain:]

It isn't what he said

But the way he said it

Made me fall

He spoke of wedding bells

Until it seem'd the knot was tied

He described an automobile

And it was just as good as taking a ride

The way he spoke of love

Set my heart a-bouncing like a ball

He told me of a kiss last week

So natural, I could feel it on my cheek

It isn't what he said

But after he said it

I had to love him, that's all



[2nd verse:]

Clever, he's so clever

You could never understand

Ev'ry word they carry

In the dictionary

Is at his command

And!

Peaches are his speeches

They're the finest in the land

He'll describe a jewel

In a way that you will

Feel it on your hand
