Verse 1:
A A7 D7
My baby she may not a-look
A A7 D7
Like one of those bunnies out of a Playboy Club
A A7 D7
But she got somethin’ much greater than gold
A A7 D7
Crazy ’bout that girl ’cause she got so much soul
Chorus:
A D/A A7(no 3) D/A
I said she got the kind of lovin’, kissin’ and a-huggin’
A D/A A7(no 3) D/A A
Sure is mellow, glad that I’m her fellow and I know
A/C# D E
That she knocks me off my feet
D/E A
Have mercy on me
A/C# D E
‘Cause she knocks me off my feet
Bm C#m
There is no girl in the whole world
E F#m E F#m E F#m [N.C.]
That can love me like you do
Verse 2:
My baby when she walks by
All the fellows go ‘mmmm’, and I know why
It’s simply ’cause that girl she looks so fine
And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind
[repeat chorus]
Verse 3:
Everybody in the neighborhood
Will testify that my girl she looks so good
She’s so fine she’d give eyesight to the blind
And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind
[repeat chorus]
Coda:
A7
Baby, yeah, you got that soulful feel, yeah, it’s all right
Mercy, mercy, mercy
