Once I Got to Know You (Couldn’t Help But Love You) Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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)
