                  C                  F
She's something special, I can't explain it,
                C                   F
But when she's near me, I can't contain it.
              C           A  D          G         C G
And just one look at her face is good enough for me.

No way of knowing which way I'm going
But I can't stop it, it keeps on growing
And just one look at her face is good enough for me

Chorus:
F                    F#dim
She ain't too pretty,   she ain't too tall,
C                                 C7
In fact she ain't too much of anything at all.
D7
I don't care what the people say,
G
They're going to find out some sweet day.

She is precious, she is charming
She is so innocent it's really disarming
And just one look at her face is good enough for me

Chorus

She is precious, she is charming
She is so innocent it's really disarming
And just one look at her face is good enough for me
Is good enough for me
Is good enough for me
