Dm                         A#   Gm
You're so gorgeous I'll do anything
     Dm                                    A#      Gm
I'll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins
Dm                           A#        Gm
You're so perfect, you're so right as rain
    Dm                              A#       Gm
You make me make me make me make me hungry again

Chorus:
F                         E
Everything you do is irresistible
F                            E
Everything you do is simply kissable
Dm        A# Gm
Why can't I   -I be you?
Dm              A# Gm
Why can't I be you?

I'll run around in circles until I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful, too good to be true
You make me, make me, make me,
make me hungry for you

Chorus

You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten, I'm bitten, I'm hooked,
I'm cooked, I'm stuck like glue
You make me, make me, make me,
make me hungry for you

Chorus

So why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
You're simply elegant
