Video clip:
Alpert’s filmed version of This Guy’s in Love with You appeared in 1968 as a part of his CBS television special The Beat of the Brass. In the film, which has a studio recording of the song as its soundtrack, Alpert can be seen walking around in various natural environments in Malibu, California (including a woodland and a beach), singing the song to his wife Sharon. In response to numerous viewer telephone calls to the network following the broadcast, Alpert decided that the song should be released as a single recording.

Lyrics:
You see this guy
This guy’s in love with you
Yes, I’m in love
Who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you
I’m glad I got to know you
