Since I first saw you darling
I knew I wanna be your man
One thing I never told you
Couldn't make you understand

My sweet Cherie
You just won't let me be
Me sweet Cherie
You got to set me free
Oh my darling sweet Cherie

You're not talking to no lightweight
A pretty face don't turn my head
But you been listening all night
And never heard a word I said

Now I used to hide my feelings
Keep them bottled up inside
But with you I'm not pretending
I've got nothing left to hide
