	     Gmaj7
	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)
	          Gmaj7
	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

	B7
	All I know is

	Em           Bm           Am7 Am7/D
	La la la la  la la la la  la  means
	 Gmaj7             [harmonies imply Gmaj9]
	I love you
	     Bm7
	[1:  Oh, baby please now
	 2:  Oh... baby]
	Em           Bm           Am7 Am7/D
	La la la la  la la la la  la  means
	 Gmaj7             [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
