Well, David Cassidy from the Partridge Family did a version of this one,
but who was the author/composer? Anyway, if you get a compendium of songs
of the Partridge Family, you will have solved your problem.
In return for this small bit of info, I need to know the lyrics to a
piano/banjo song from around 1894 that was determined to be obscene
because it contained the words "Dora Dean [Jean], she's the hottest girl
you ever seen." I think the 9th Circuit ordered all the songbooks seized
and destroyed. The publishing house might have been in Montana, but
that's as far as I can go, short of looking the stupid case up again....

Well, this traveling banjo player happened to find himself in San
Francisco, and since pushing a broom was hardly a source of livelihood, he
hired himself out as a supporting performer to a pianist, and they worked
for a while putting a song together. The pianist knew how to put music
down on paper, while the banjo player just sort of winged it.
They had a parting of ways, and the banjo player took off traveling across
the country playing his tune. The problem being, the banjo player had a
salty way of speaking, and couldn't remember the right lyrics (or figured
his version was the better of the two), and sang the song HIS way...
Unbeknownst to each other, they submitted copyright forms with the US
Copyright Office within a few weeks of each other, and the publishing
houses struck deals with each performer. They found out about the
"simultaneous" filings, and decided to sue. Imagine how the publishing
houses felt! Leave it up to ordinary folks, and they'd probably look the
other way, but oh, no, throw in some "corporate" mentality, and what
you've got is an instant lawsuit.
So, a copyright infringement action was brought, and a counterclaim filed,
as is usually the case, and in their prayers for relief they sought to
compel forfeitures of songsheets and songbooks so far printed up, and
furthermore an injunction to prevent further publications, and damages for
infringement, probably with a common law claim on top of all that for lost
earnings... You know, when the Smoke Hits the Fan, more lawyers crawl
out from rocks than you can shake a stick at... High stakes rolling, and
the winner takes all. (Loser's songbooks are usually impounded and
DESTROYED. Witness the destruction of the obscene version(s) of the
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy song, from the famous A Cuff Rose case with Bette
Midler... So it even happens nowadays, too.)
The judge looked at the "colored" pianist and the "colored" banjo player,
and decided that the one with a superior education probably dreamed the
song up first, and this was even more likely to be the case because the
pianist had been performing professionally at a regular place of business,
and had more of a reputation for being creative than a traveling banjo player.
I might be off by a couple years, but it was around 1894 or so.

I didn't know how to deal with
and so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself
and would not talk about it
and did not go and shout it
when to walked into the room
I think I love you
- can't remember the second verse
chorus:
I think I love you
so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
a love there is no cure for
I think I love you, isn't that what life is made of
so it worries me to say
I've never felt this way
Believe me, you really don't have to worry
I only want to make you happy
and if you say, hey, go away, I will
but I think better still, I'd better stay around and love you
do you think I have a case?
Let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?
I think I love you
The Partridge Family's first single, which of course, Mad magazine twisted
into David Cassidy singing, "I Think I Love Me".
