You can tell by her smile shes such a love child.
And every man in this place would love to be in her space.
As the night settles down shed meet a lot of clever clowns.
And ill do my best to be better than the rest.

[Chorus]
She is so (so sweet and tender)
And I'm glad (so glad we've met girl)
Shes so (so sweet and tender) and I'm glad
(so glad were makin' love) oh I oh I love that girl oh oh

Then she walks my way and said boy I hope your free.
I'm thinking how could this be feels like a dream to me.
Then she give me this kiss that gave my whole body a twitch.
See your just much more than pretty gave my heart an eclipse

[Chorus]

Darling
I'm so glad we found each other
Holding hands
Kissing
And making love and saying 

[Chorus: Repeats]
