My Heart Said (The Bossa Nova)

My heart said, "Go, take a chance
Go and ask him to dance to the
Bossa Nova!"
My heart said, "What can you lose?
You got feet, you got shoes, and the
Bossa Nova

He's standing there all alone
Just a-waiting for someone like you
Lovely you, with your charms!"
My heart said, "All you’ve gotta do
Is go and ask him to."
Before I knew it, I was in his arms

And so we're spinning around
I could feel my heart pound to the
Bossa Nova
Lord, I got weak in my knees
When he gave me a squeeze to the
Bossa Nova

I whispered, "Oh, don't you know?
I could go on forever, daddy-o!
This is oh, so sublime."
When I said, "How about it, ace?"
He said, "OK, baby face! I’ll tell the man to play it one more time!"

[Instrumental break]

I whispered, "Oh, don't you know?
I could go on forever, daddy-o!
This is oh, so sublime."
When he said, "How about it, ace?"
I said, "OK, baby face! Go tell the man to play it one more time!"

Mmm, mm-mm-mm
Mmm, mm-mm-mm
(Hum!)
Bossa Nova!

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mmm, mm-mm-mm
(Hum!)
Bossa Nova!
