I recall just walking down the street..trying to 
  C#            G#
escape the city heat.
  C#                            G#
I saw her from the corner of my eye, eye, eye.
G#                  C#                 G#
Yeah, she looked so good I thought I'd die.

Something said I shouldn't waste no time..if I'm ever 
C#             G#
gonna make her mine.
  C#                                   G#
I walked right up and said, how do you do, do, do.
G#                C#            G#
She said, I bet I do as good as you.

Now, she's gonna spend her life with me.
G#               C#           G#
Then we'll be as happy as can be.
  C#                               G#
Because I love her more than I can tell, tell, tell..
