F

Am 
Oh, baby, when you walked a little closer,
my heart began to skip a beat.
I just couldn't believe a girl
as pretty as you could be.
C 
So close to me, I just wanted to cry.
F 
Oh, baby, cause you were so fine,
so fine, so fine.
C 
I just wanted to cry, cry, cry, cry, cry.
F 
Cause you were so fine, so fine, so fine.

Oh, you won't believe the rest,

C

F 
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
C 
Cry,
Lord have mercy
Cry, I just wanted to
F 
Fall on my knees, just break down and cry
C 
I went boo -hoo -hoo -hoo -hoo
F 
-hoo -hoo -hoo -hoo
C 
Whoo!

Go ahead.

But when I opened my mouth,

Lord, nothing came out.

I, I wanted to cry

Ain't no doubt in my mind, little girl
That a man ain't supposed to cry
But I'm here on my knees
With tears in my eyes begging
Don't pass me by
C 
I just wanted to cry,
F 
for her mercy
