	Like the sun that shines on a rainy day
	                 Bbm7  Bbm7/Eb

	   I can't stay with you"
	             Db  Ab/             C  Bbm7

	                     Bbm7  Bbm7/Eb  
	You just got to hurt her, yeah
	One of a kind   love affair is
	Makes a lame man walk
	Makes a blind man talk about seein' again
	(One of a kind   love affair is)
	Makes me wanna be around you
	Girl, I'm glad I found you
	(One of a kind   love affair is)  I wanna tell you now
	Every day is sunshine
	Girl, you're on my mind
	(One of a kind   love affair is)
	Makes me wanna
	Wanna be with you fade
