Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself, because I

love you.

    C             C/B     Am            G       F        F/E    Dm7
And when you give me that pretty little pout it turns me inside out.

There's somethin' about ya baby, I don't know.
[Chorus]
Am       Em        F        D/F#   G    G#dim Am
Isn't it amazing a man like me can feel this way

G   F                C                   F              G
Oh, tell me how much longer.  I can grow stronger every day

Ohhh......

I thought I was in love just a couple of times before with the girl

      Dm7      G        C             Am               F
next door, but that was long before I met ya.  Now I'm sure that I

         G
won't forget ya.

      C        C/B   Am  G      F       F/E     Dm7     G
And I thank my lucky stars that you are who you are and not just

 C             Am              F        G
another lovely lady set out to break my heart.
[Chorus]
Am       Em        F        D/F#   G    G#dim Am
Isn't it amazing a man like me can feel this way?

G   F                C                   F              G
Oh, tell me how much longer.  I can grow stronger every day

Ohhh......

Somebody talk to me
[Bridge]
C          Am           F         G          C
No one can tell me that I'm doin' wrong today

Am                 F          G
Whenever I see you smilin' at me

C          Am           F         G          C
No one can tell me that I'm doin' wrong today

C                  Am                F        G
Whenever I see you shine that lovely thing my way
