Lyrics
Chorus:
Down in my heart
You’ve played a prominent part
Right from the start
When Cupid mixed a funny drink
And the drink, I think
Went to my heart
And now it’s bursting apart
Somehow I feel so good
With my little Venus
Nothing could ever come between us
Honest, little girlie
I am strong for you
‘Way down in my heart
Chorus:
Down in my heart
You’ve played a prominent part
Right from the start
When Cupid mixed a funny drink
And the drink, I think
Went to my heart
And now it’s bursting apart
It’s jumping all around
Like a champagne bubble
Burdened down with a happy trouble
Honest, little fellow
I am strong for you
‘Way down in my heart
