You Made Me Love You
Composer(s): James V. Monaco; Joseph McCarthy
Performer(s): Al Jolson;
and various other artists
You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want 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
You made me feel so bad
You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you
(instrumental interlude)
You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you

As sung Judy Garland:
You Made Me Love You (Dear Mr. Gable)
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
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
