Song lyrics to I Think I Like You, Written by Leslie Bricusse, Performed by Rex Harrison, Samantha Eggar with vocal by Diana Lee in Doctor Dolittle
I have listened and dreamed,
While the moon has glistened
And a million stars
Have gleamed …
Waiting!
Doctor Dolittle: Waiting?
Emma: Waiting!
Doctor Dolittle: What for?
Emma: For a man I know
Who is clever and kind,
But a man who never
Ever seems to know
His mind …
Waiting!
Waiting!
Waiting for you to say
You like me … or hate me …
Or miss me … or kiss me …
Or something! But nothing!
Nothing do you say
At all!
Little wonder, I feel sorely neglected,
Unwanted, rejected
And small!
Little more than two feet tall!
Lucky to be here at all!
Doctor Dolittle: Emma, i – er –
I think i like you…
Yes, I think I do!
I think i like you…
I’m almost sure that i do!
I think I like the way you look –
The way your eyes reveal your mind …
Like a precious book,
That is hard to find.
I think I’m learning
Something strange and new…
But well worth learning,
Because I’m learning about you!
Like dawning sunshine
When a new day is due,
I think i like you …
And i think you like me, too!
Do you?
Emma: Do you?
Both: Do you?
Emma:
Yes, I do …
I’m almost sure that i dov…
I think I like the way i feel
Each time i feel your eyes feel mine …
Like a gourmet meal
Needs a vintage wine……
I think I’m seeing
Something strange but true
For what I’m seeing
Is something wonderful in you!
Like finding April
When December is due …
I think i like you …
Doctor Dolittle: I think I like you…..
Both: And i think you like me, too!
Doctor Dolittle: Do you?
Emma: Do you?
Both: Do you?
