A long-shot here: It popped into my head that there's a song with the words "Quaint old-fashioned notion" in the lyrics.

It seems I can hear someone singing it in my mind, but I can't fill in the rest of it.

Can anyone identify a song with these lyrics, or am I just chasing my own imagination?

Edited to add: "sweet old-fashioned notion" instead of "quaint old-fashioned notion."

What's Love Got to Do With It
Tina Turner

You must understand, though the touch of your hand makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl, opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that

Oh-oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love, but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused when you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed, I read it some place, I got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason, you do it for me

Oh-oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love, but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
Who?

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

Oh-oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love, but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

(What's love) got to do, got to do with it?
What's love, but a sweet old-fashioned notion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

(What's love got to do) ooh, got to do with it?
(What's love? A second-hand emotion)
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
(What's love) ooh-ooh (got to do with it?) got to do with it?

Whats love got to do with it (1993). About her time with and after Ike, her abusive husband and musical partner. Very inspiring film.

I'm Old Fashioned
Ella Fitzgerald

I am not such a clever one
About the latest fads
I admit I was never one
Adored by local lads

Not that I ever try to be a saint
I'm the type that they classify as quaint

I'm old-fashioned
I love the moonlight
I love the old-fashioned things

The sound of rain
Upon a window pane
The starry song that April sings

This year's fancies
Are passing fancies
But sighing sighs holding hands
These my heart understands

I know I'm old-fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old-fashioned with me

I'm old-fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old-fashioned with me

Oh, won't you stay old-fashioned with me
Oh, please stay old-fashioned with me
