Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself
Because I love you, yes, I do
And when you give me that pretty little pout, it turns me inside out
There's something about you, baby, I don't know
[Chorus]
Isn't it amazing a man like me can feel this way?
Tell me how much longer if it grows stronger every day
Oh, how much longer?
[Verse 2]
I thought I was in love a couple of times before with the girl next door
But that was long before I met you, now I'm sure that I won't forget you
And I thank my lucky stars that you are who you are
And not just another lovely lady, sent down to break my heart
[Chorus]
Isn't it amazing a man like me can feel this way?
Tell me how much longer, it can grows stronger every day, yeah
How much longer?
[Outro]
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see you smile at me
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see your smiling face my way
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
No, no, darling
La-la-la-la
La, la-la, la, la
La-la, la, la
La-la, la, la-la
La, la-la, la, la, la-la-la
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
