Once I Got to Know You

Once I Got to Know You - Smokey Robinson

Lyrics by：William Robinson Junior/Isaiah Johnson

Composed by：William Robinson Junior/Isaiah Johnson

Once I got to know you

Couldn't help but love you

I have to love you

Ah once I got to know you

Couldn't help but love you

I have to love you

Nothing to write home about

To write a song or poem about

If you're gonna go by looks

Oh baby cute in a peculiar way

I sneak up on you fool your way

And before you know you're hooked

Ah beauty beyond the skin

Way deep down within

All of a sudden one day it hit me

It hit me

If it was a snake it would've bit me

Would've bit me

I seem to see you for the very first time

One magic moment I became aware

Of the happiness of your being there ooh

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 or say

Love's a game of give and take

So if some guy is on the make

I can understand and I can't blame

I know how you rule a guy

Who felt the soul 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 ten

But I am not the only man on the mend

Who would love you if they knew what you were all about

In my mind there's no room for doubt ooh

Once they got to know you

Couldn't help but love you baby

Once they got to know you

Couldn't help but love you oh yeah

Once I got to know you

Couldn't help but love
