I [F] don't know what it is that makes me [Dm] love you so,
I [F] only know I never want to  [Dm] let you go
'Cause [Bb] you started [C] something, oh [Gm7] can't you [C] see 
That [F] ever since we met you've had a  [Dm] hold on me
It [Gm7] hap[Am7]pens [Gm7] to [Abdim] be [C] true, 
I [Gm7] only want to [C] be with [F] you [Bb], [C7]

chorus: 
[C#] You stopped and smiled at me, and [F] asked me if I  [Bb] cared to [F] dance,
[C] I fell into your open [Am] arms, and [Dm7] I didn't stand a [G7] chance,
Now listen honey….…
