I------- should have known better with a girl like you;

      C             D          G  D  G  D

And I do, hey, hey, hey, and I do-------.  Whoa, oh!

G  D  G  D        G            D          G  D

I------- never realized what a kiss could be,

           G    D         Em

This could only happen to me,

          C              B7  Em

Can't you see, can't you see?

 

C           G               B7         Em

That when I tell you that I love you.  Oh!

             C               G            G7      C

You're gonna say you love me too-oo-oo-oo-oo.  Oh-ho!

           D             G  Em   C            D                G  D  G

And when I ask you to be mine--, you're gonna say you love me, too.

If this is love you've gotta give me more.

Give me more, hey, hey, hey, give me more!

And when I ask you to be mine, you're gonna say you love me, too.

You love me, too!  You love me ,too!
