about song lyrics...

I happen to particularly like this song out of all the songs by Shiina Ringo that I have (although this certainly isn't the only one). :) If anyone has this song and knows what the word I'm not sure about is, could you let me know please? ^^;

edit: Thanks to meganemagic for helping me out with the lyrics for mr. wonderful by taking the time to google for the original lyrics. ^_^ I didn't even know the song had been sung before! :P


Why this feeling
Why this feeling glow
Why the thrill
When you say hello

It's a strange and tender magic
You do
Mr. Wonderful
That's you

Why this trembling
When you speak
Why this joy
When you touch my cheek

I'll just tell you what my heart knows
Is true
Mr. Wonderful
That's you

And why this longing
To know your choice charms
To spend forever
Here in your arms

Oh there's much more
I could say
But the words
Keep slipping away

And I'm left
With only one point of view
Mr. Wonderful
That's you

One more thing
And Then I'm through
Mr. Wonderful
Mr. Wonderful
Mr. Wonderful

I love you



I wanna be loved by you
Just you
Nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
Alone

I wanna be kissed by you
Just you
Nobody else but you
I wanna be kissed by you
Alone

I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than to fulfill the desire
To make you my own

I wanna be loved by you
Just you
Nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
Alone

I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than to fulfill the desire
To make you my own

I wanna be loved by you
Just you
Nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
Alone

Google tells me this was originally sung by Peggy Lee. Cross-referencing with some of the lyrics online turned up these discrepancies =p

(Blame Shiina's pronunciation, not your ears, because I too can't really make out what she's singing at some parts.)
