    This 1913 song with music by James V. Monaco and words by Joe McCarthy has never grown old. It tells of loving someone you didn't expect to love and not being able to help it. It's funny, sad, longing, joyful and a little frustrated and insisting. The song has great rythum, especially in it's original style.

    Story Behind the Song
    You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It) was first performed at the Winter Garden Theatre (1913) in the Broadway show, "The Honeymoon Express." Al Jolson sang it and came down on one knee. He subsequently recorded it and it became a great hit. In 1938, Judy Garland sang it in "The Broadway Melody of 1938" in an arrangement by Roger Edens, "Dear Mr. Gable." And again it was a hit. Judy's version is still the one recalled today. This version is copied after Jolson's.

    Lyrics
    Verse:
    I've been worried all day long,
    Don't know if I'm right or wrong,
    I can't help just what I say -
    your love makes me feel this way.

    Why, oh! why should I feel blue,
    Once I used to laugh at you,
    But now I'm crying,
    No use denying,
    There's no one else but you will do.

    Chorus:
    You made me love you,
    I didn't want to do it,
    I didn't want to do it.
    You made me love you,
    And all the time you knew it,
    I guess you always knew it.
    You made me happy sometimes,
    You made me glad
    But there were times dear,
    You made me feel so sad.

    You made me sigh for,
    I didn't want to tell you
    I didn't want to tell you.
    I want some love that's true
    Yes, I do, Deed, I do, you know I do.
    Give me, give me, what I cry for.
    You know you got the brand of kisses
    that I'd die for.
    You know you made me love you.

    Verse:
    I had pictured in my mind
    Someday I would surely find
    Someone handsome, someone true.
    But I never thought of you.
    Now my dream of love is o'er
    I want you and nothing more.
    Come on, enfold me,
    Come on and hold me
    Just like you never did before.

    Chorus repeat.
