Like the honeybee to the marigold
Like the sweet tooth to the sugar bowl
Like the tide to the moon
I've taken a shine to you

Like the summer sun to the skin
Like the bow to the violin
Like the drunk to the saloon
I've taken a shine to you

I've taken a shine to you
To everything you do
I've taken a shine to you

I've taken a shine to you
To everything you do
I've taken a shine to you

Like the seasick to the land
Like the fallen to the helping hand
Like the broken heart to the blues
I've taken a shine to you
Oh, little girl you know it's true
I've taken a shine to you
