Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Little ghost, little ghost
One I'm scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I'm the only one that sees you
And I can't do much to please you
And it's not yet time to meet the Lord above
[Verse 2]
The first moment that I met her
I did not expect a specter
When I shook her hand I really shook a glove
She looked into me so sweetly
And we left the room discreetly
No one else could know the secret of our love
[Verse 3]
Little ghost, little ghost
One I'm scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I'm the only one that sees you
And I can't do much to please you
And it's not yet time to meet the Lord above
[Verse 4]
Every morning I awoke
And I see my little ghost
Wonderin' if it's really her that's lyin' there
I lean to touch her and I whisper
But not brave enough to kiss her
When I held her I was really holding air
[Verse 5]
Little ghost, little ghost
One I'm scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I'm the only one that sees you
And I can't do much to please you
And it's not yet time to meet the Lord above
[Verse 6]
Though I try my best to keep it
There really was no secret
Must have looked like I was dancin' with the wall
No one else could see this apparition
But because of my condition
I fell in love with a little ghost and that was all
[Verse 7]
Little ghost, little ghost
One I'm scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I'm the only one that sees you
And I can't do much to please you
And it's not yet time to meet the Lord above
No, it's not yet time to meet the Lord above
