Hop to Another SongBm7 Baby, baby, baby,
from the day I saw you
I really, really wanna catch your C#7eye.
Bm7 There’s somethin’ special ’bout you
and I must really like you.
Cuz not a lotta guys are worth my C#7time, oh…
Bm7 Ooh… baby, baby, baby,
it’s gettin’ kind of crazy –
cause you are takin’ over my C#7 mind.
E7 And it feels like, Amaj7ooh
but you don’t know my Bm7name
And I C#7swear, E7
it feels like, Amaj7ooh
but you don’t know my Bm7name.
(’round and ’round and ’round we go,
C#7will you ever know?)
Bm7 Oh… baby, baby, baby
I see us on our first date
you’re doin’ everything that makes me C#7smile.
Bm7 And when we had our first kiss
it happened on a Thursday –
ooh, it set my soul on C#7fire.
Bm7 Ooh baby, baby, baby,
I can’t wait for the sunrise,
with you watchin’ right here by my C#7side.
E7 And it feels like, Amaj7ooh
but you don’t know my Bm7name
And I C#7swear, E7
it feels like, Amaj7ooh
but you don’t know my Bm7name.
(’round and ’round and ’round we go,
C#7will you ever know?) E7

Amaj7 I’m sayin’,

Amaj7Doin’ more than I’ve ever done
for anyone’s attention,
take Bm7notice of what’s in front of you
cuz did I D*mention – Ow! –

And you’ll Bm7never know how good it feels to have
all of my affection,
and you’ll never get a chance to experience my D*lovin’ – Ow! –
cuz my lovin’ feels like, Amaj7ooh
But you don’t know my Bm7name
