Once I got to know you,
couldn't help but love you, I love you.
Once I got to know you,
couldn't help but love you, I love you.
Nothing to write home about,
to write a song or a poem about
If you're gonna go by notes
Oh, baby, cute in a peculiar way
I'll sneak up on you, fool you away
And before you know your heart
Oh, beauty beyond the skin
Way deep down within
All of a sudden, one day it hit me
If it was a snake, it would have bit me
I seem to see it for the very first time
One magic moment I became aware
Of the happiness in your beating heart
Once I got to know you,
couldn't help but love you, baby
Once I got to know you,
couldn't help but love you, baby
So easy for me to love,
so why can't it be true love
That another man could feel the same
Love's a game of give and take
So if some guy's on the make
I can understand
Him, I can't blame
I know how you've grown, my guy
The fact is so, even though you don't try
Oh, baby, you started out as my friend
I don't know just where,
I don't know just when
This feeling in me began to begin
And started echoing to be
brought out from within
Five will sure get you jammed
But I'm not the only man on my mend
Who would love you if they knew
what you are all about
In my mind there's no
room for doubt
Once I got to know you
Couldn't help but love you, baby
Once I got to know you
Couldn't help but love you, oh yeah
Once I got to know you
