Jan Howard - Everybody Loves A Lover lyrics

lyrics by Jerry Adler, music by Robert Allen

popularized by Doris Day, summer 1958, Columbia Records.

Everybody loves a lover;

I'm a lover: everybody loves me!

Anyhow, that's how I feel.

Wow! I feel just like a Pollyanna!

I should worry? Not for nothing!

Everybody loves me, yes, they do!

And I love everybody since I fell in love with you!

Who's the most popular personality?

I can't help thinking it's no one else but me!

Gee, I feel just about ten feet tall,

Having a ball! Guess you might call me a Pollyanna!

Everybody loves a lover...

(Instrumental leading to the first four lines and lines 9-12 being sung together in counterpoint. When this is done, the last phrase of the twelfth line is then sung as,

"Well, I feel just like a Pollyanna!"

Then the song concludes with the four lines beginning, "I should worry?"
