It’s times when I (F#m)want some one more, a some one more like me,

and there’s times when this dress re hear sal (E)seems in com plete, but you see the col ors in me like that I’ve no one else

and be hind your dark glass es you’re, you’re some thing else.

And you’re (A)real ly (B)love ly (A)un der neath it all, and you (A)want to (B)love me (A)un der neath it all.

I’m (A)real ly (B)luck y (A)un der neath it all, and you’re (A)real ly (B)love (Bsus)ly.

You know some real bad tricks and you (E)need some dis ci pline,

but late ly you’ve been (F#m)try ing real hard and (E)giv ing me your best, and you give me the most gor geous sleep that I’ve ev er had,

and when it’s real ly bad, I guess it’s not that bad.

And you’re (A)real ly (B)love ly (A)un der neath it all, and you (A)want to (B)love me (A)un der neath it all.

I’m (A)real ly (B)luck y (A)un der neath it all, and you’re (A)real ly (B)love (Bsus)ly.

You know some real bad tricks and you (E)need some dis ci pline,

but late ly you’ve been (F#m)try ing real hard and (E)giv ing me your best, and (B)love (Bsus)ly.

It’s so man y (Amaj7)moons that we have seen a stum bl ing (G#7)back next to me.

I’ve seen right (Amaj7)through and un der neath, and you make me bet ter.

I’ve seen right (Amaj7)through and un der neath, and you make me bet ter, bet ter bet ter.

For real, ’cause un der (E)neath it all, you are my (A)real Prince Charm ing.

Like the (B)heat from the fi re you were (A)al ways burn ing.

An y (E)time you’re a round my (A)bod y keeps call ing for your (B)touch, your kiss es and your (A)sweet ro manc ing.

There’s an (E)oth er side of you a dis a (A)wom an here a dore.

A (B)side from your tem per ev ’ry (A)thing else se cure.

You ’re (E)good for me, ba by; of (A)that I’m sure, ’cause (B)o ver and o ver a gain I want more.

You’ve used up all your cou pons and (E)all you’ve got left is me,

and some how I’m (F#m)full of for give ness; I (E)guess it’s meant to be.

But you’re (A5)real ly (B5)love ly (A5)un der neath it all, and you (A5)want to (B5)love me (A5)un der neath it all.
