Oh, let me tell ya (mm, mm, mm) I've been in many places Seen many faces (mm, mm, ooh) But I met this young lady She makes the hair on the nape of my neck stand up (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Some kind of way, you know? I've got to tell her In a very special way That she brings joy to my life To a world that was cold and forbidden Now there's a new day I can't let her get away Somehow I know that I've got to tell her that she's special And how much I really, really, really love her This is my promise To you, darling
