Verse 1:
           G7M
      Many guys have come to you

      With a line that wasn't true

      Am7 Bm7 Am7/D

      And you passed them by (passed them by)
                G7M
      Now you're in the center ring

      And their lines don't mean a thing
           Am7  Bm7 Am7/D
      Why don't you let me try (let me try)
          Bm                      Em  / D / C / B
      Now I don't wear a diamond ring
              Am7                 Am7/D
      I don't even have a song to sing
      B7
      All I know is

Chorus:
      Em           Bm           Am7 Am7/D

      I love you

       2:  Oh... baby]
      Em           Bm           Am7 Am7/D
      La la la la  la la la la  la  means
       G7M             [harmonies imply Gmaj9]
      I love you

Verse 2:

      If I ever saw a girl

      That I needed in this world

      You are the one for me (one for me)

      Let me hold me in my arms

      Girl, and thrill you with my charms

      I'm sure you will see (you will see)

      The things I am sayin' are true

      And the way I explain them to you

      Listen to me
