I can give you what (F7) you want,
but you got (B flat7) to go home with me
(B flat7) I've got some good old (F7) loving
and I (B flat7) got some in store
When I get through throwing (F7) it on you,
you got (B flat7) to come back for more
(F7) Boys and things will come by the dozen
But that ain't nothing but drug store loving
Pretty little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama, I'm sure hard to handle,
now, yessir'am

I wanna (B flat7) prove every word I say
