Lyrics

You say you’ll be down in five.

The smell of your per fume

is float ing down the stairs.

You’re (Em7)fix ing up your hair like you do.

I know that I’ll be a mess

the sec ond that I see you.

You won’t be sur prised; it (Em7)hap pens ev ’ry time, it’s noth ing new.

It’s al ways on a night like to (D)night

I thank God you can read my mind.

’Cause when you look at me with those (Gm)eyes,

(CN.C.)I’m

(D)speech less.

Star ing at you stand ing there in (F#m7)that dress, what it’s do ing to me ain’t a (G)se cret.

’Cause watch ing you is all that I can (Em7)do.

And I’m

(D)speech less.

You al read y know that you’re my (F#m7)weak ness.

Af ter all this time, I’m just as (G)nerv ous ev ’ry time you walk in to the (Gm)room.

(CN.C.)I’m

(D)speech less.

It start ed when you said hel lo.

Just did some thing to me.

And I’ve been in a daze (Em7)ev er since the day that we met.

You take the breath out of my lungs, can’t e ven fight it, and all of the words out of my mouth with out e ven try in’.

And (G)I’m

(D)speech less.

It’s al ways on a night like to (D)night

I thank God you can read my mind.

’Cause when you look at me with those (Gm)eyes,

I’m (D)speech less.

You’re stand ing there in (C)that dress.

Girl, it ain’t a (G)se cret.

Watch ing you is all that I can (Gm)do.

(Am7)Oh,

I’m (D)speech less.

You al read y know that you’re my (F#m7)weak ness.

Af ter all this time, I’m just as (G)nerv ous ev ’ry time you walk in to the (Gm)room.

(CN.C.)I’m

(D)speech less.

Oh, you know it, ba by.

Oh,
