SALI BLOO (Pete Ham)
[commercial version from The Iveys' "Maybe Tomorrow" LP]

When you smiled for the first time, Sali Bloo, then I knew

That your style was the right style, Sali Bloo, I want you


BRIDGE:

Guess I've been in love before

This time's different, that's for sure

Wedding bells are ringing in my ears

Eyes are clear which once were red* with tears

Now I know the time has come

This time, I don't wanna run

A love that's true has washed away my fears

A love I really hope will last for years


CHORUS:

Sali Bloo, I love you

Sali Bloo (you know I need you), I love you


When we kissed for the first time, Sali Bloo, then I knew

That first kiss was not the last one, Sali Bloo, I love you


repeat BRIDGE


CHORUS:

Sali Bloo, I love you

Sali Bloo (you know I need you)

I love you (you know I love you)

Sali Bloo, I love you ( I want the moody tune)

Sali Bloo (and that ain't all), I love you (Y'know I want ya, love to wanna love you girl)

Sali Bloo ( I----------), I love you (can't turn it down)

Sali Bloo (They'll be telling you, baby), I love you (they'll be telling you how)

(they'll be telling you hoooooooooowwwww...).
