You (C)passed me by one sun ny day, Be (F)flashed those big brown eyes my way and, (C)oo, I want ed you for (Cm)ev er (G7)more.

Now (C)I’m not one that gets a round, I (F)swear my feet stuck to the ground and (C)thought I (Am)nev er (Dm)did meet (G7)you be (C)fore.

I said, “Hel lo, Mar y Lou,

I (C)saw your lips, I heard your voice.

Be (F)lieve me, I just had no choice.
