Ginger Rogers - Why Can't You Love That Way? (1929)

Lyrics:

I'm tired of waiting for love to come my way
I want my loving before my hair turns gray
All these movie lovers thrill me through and through

Now I just might have excitement too
Believe me I'm crazy for one big thrill
I wanna be loved and held

I'm willing to say I will
Why can't you love that way
Somebody must guarantee
To dive in that deep blue sea
Or jump off a bridge for me
Why can't you love that way?

I'm getting tired of holding hands by
Down by the village pump
I need excitement my heart demands
Something to make it bumpity bump

I know of the perfect gent who gave his girl his last cent
He's sleeping now in a tent
Why can't you love that way?

Oh, gee I'm crazy for one big thrill
I wanna be loved and held
My fever turns to a chill
Oh, why can't you love that way?

Somebody must guarantee
A lot of L.O.V.E
It's gotta be H.L.T
Why can't you love that way?

Can't I discover the boy for me
After the years I've tried
I must have another reason
Than I'd be more than satisfied

Collect every monthly rent
He gives his girl ten perfect
Why... An' another fella...
To prove that he loves just one
Romeo brought a gun
Shot himself just this one
Why can't you love that way?
