1. I've seen lots of pretty faces in a million different places,

 ’Cause you're the cutest and the sweetest, you always dress the neatest,

    with one exception, and she's waiting at home.

2. If I let temptation fill me, I know your kiss would thrill me,

                    A                                            E
