'cause you've got --


Over and over
I tried to prove my love to you
Over and over
What more can I do
Over and over
My friends say I'm a fool
but over and over
I'll be a fool for you

'cause you got -- personality,
Walk, personality
Talk, personality
Smile, personality
Charm, personality
Love, personality

and of course you've got
A great big heart
so over and over
and over, over, over
Oh, I'll be a fool to you
Now over and over
and over, over, over
What more can I do ?

'cause you got __ personality,
Walk, personality
Talk, personality
Smile, personality
Charm, personality
Love, personality --

And of course you've got
A great big heart
So over and over
And over, over, over
Oh, I'll be a fool for you
Now over and over
And over, over, over
What more can I do?

Over and over
I said that I loved you
Over and over, honey
Now it's the truth
Over and over
they still say I'm a fool
But Over and over
I'll be a fool for you --

'cause you got --
personality,
Walk, personality
Talk, Personality
Smile, Personality
Charm, personality
Love, personality

And because you've got
A great big heart
So over and over
And over, over, over
Oh I'll be a fool for you
Now over and over
and over, over, over
What more can I do?

--------------- {"Personality" a 1959 hit song by Lloyd Price}
================= Last week, contemplating the film, The Sting, read comments which referred to the "sizzling charisma" of the stars, Redford and Newman.  Sizzling charisma.  I liked that phrase; and "charisma" is a word you don't hear much these days -- words go in and out of fashion, in trends, like different styles in shoes, or clothes....Thought, "charisma, charisma."  And that made me think, Saturday morning, of -- ya-da, personality, bomp - personality, somethin' - personality, ta-dah - per-son-al-i-tee....and was thinking, What Is That Song???????

Cause you've got -- finger-snap, Personality - !!  It was thin and far-away, in my memory, yet insistent. ...
