You know, I fell way down upon my knees

Oh, baby, I believe I'm gonna love you 
            E         G#       C#m 
So lay your head down across my knees.       -thank you, darlin'- 
          C#m                   G# 
I'm gonna kiss you, and I'll caress you 
         E                      G#                    C#m 
Mmm,-but honey there's just one little thing I'll ask you for first, What's that, darlin'?-
