Everybody Loves A Lover Lyrics - Jan Howard

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!"
