(I Don't Stand) a Ghost of a Chance with You - Thelonious Monk

I need your love so badly

I love you oh so madly

But I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I found you

But other loves surround you

And I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you

If you’d surrender

Just for a tender

Kiss or two

You might discover

That I’m the lover

Meant for you

And I’d be true

But what’s the good of scheming

I’m dreaming

For I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you

Cuz I don’t stand

A ghost of a chance

With you
