Don't you worry yourself 'bout me, Mbo. I appreciate the concern, though. : )

Alright, Lonesome. Since you've managed to leave the heat at home for once, I'll sing some Johnny Mercer for ya. : ) I don't know "You made me love you", though. You heard "Something's Gotta Give"? It's one o' my favorite Mercer tunes.

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me,
You can bet as sure as you live,
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give,
Something's gotta give.
When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine,
Don't say no because I insist
Somewhere, somehow, someone's gonna be kissed.
So, en garde, who knows what the Fates have in store,
From their vast mysterious sky?
I'll try hard ignoring those lips I adore,
But how long can anyone try?
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might,
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night,
We'll find out as sure as we live,
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give,
Something's gotta give.

Whew...just sailors. For a sec there, I thought we was about ta get a raid!
