I Get A Kick Out Of You Lyrics - Benny Carter

My story is much too sad to be told 

But practically everything leaves me totally cold 

The only exception I know is the case 

When I'm out on a quiet spree 

Fighting vainly the old ennui 

And I suddenly turn and see 

Your fabulous face 

I get no kick from champagne 

Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all 

So, tell me, why should it be true 

That I get a kick out of you? 

Some get a kick from cocaine 

I'm sure that if I took even one sniff 

That would bore me terrifically too 

Yet I get a kick out of you 

I get a kick every time I see 

You're standing there before me 

I get a kick though it's clear to see 

You obviously do not adore me
