             Bm
She's just a lover, who's doin' me by,
It's worth the giving, it's worth the try.
You cannot cleave it, or put it in the furnace,
You cannot wet it; you cannot burn it.

Chorus:
Bm                      F#7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).
Bm                      F#7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).
Bm                      F#7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).
Bm                      F#7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).

It's just a feeling, you have to soothe it
You can't neglect it, you can't abuse it
It's just desire, you cannot waste it
Then, if you want it
Then, won't you taste it

Chorus

G             F#7                  Bm
 One thing in life you must under-stand;
G             F#7             Bm
 The truth of lust, woman to man.
G            F#7                 Bm
 So open the door, and you will see;
             Bm7-5                           F#7
There are no secrets; make your move; set me free.

Chorus:
                  G           F#7       Bm
Because, there's something a-bout you, baby,
              Gmaj7   F#7         Bm
That makes me want to give it to you.
                 G          F#7        Bm
I swear there's something a-bout you, baby.

Gmaj7
Just promise me; whatever we say,
or whatever we do to each other:
Bm7-5                              F#7
For now, we'll make a vow to just;
keep it in the closet.

If you can get it, is it worth the try?
I really want it, I can't deny
It's just desire, I really love it
'Cause if it's aching, you have to rub it

Chorus

G              F#7                 Bm
 Just open the door, and you will see;
G             F#7               Bm
 This passion burns, inside of me.
G             F#7               Bm
 Don't say to me, you'll never tell;
         Bm7-5                          F#7
Touch me there, make the move, cast the spell.

Chorus:
                 G           F#7        Bm
Because, there's something a-bout you, baby,
              Gmaj7   F#7         Bm
That makes me want to give it to you.
                G           F#7        Bm
I swear there's something a-bout you, baby.

Just promise me; whatever we say,
or whatever we do to each other:
For now, we'll make a vow to just;
keep it in the closet.

Chorus:
                 G           F#7        Bm
Because, there's something a-bout you, baby,
              Gmaj7   F#7         Bm
That makes me want to give it to you.
                 G           F#7        Bm
Because, there's something a-bout you, baby,
              Gmaj7   F#7         Bm
That makes me want to give it to you.

                G           F#7        Bm
I swear there's something a-bout you, baby.
              Gmaj7   F#7         Bm
That makes me want to give it to you.
                G           F#7        Bm
I swear there's something a-bout you, baby,
              Gmaj7   F#7         Bm
That makes me want to give it to you.

                G           F#7        Bm
I swear there's something a-bout you, baby.
              Gmaj7   F#7         Bm
That makes me want to give it to you.
                G           F#7        Bm
I swear there's something a-bout you, baby,
              Gmaj7
That makes me want...

Just promise me; whatever we say,
or whatever we do to each other:
For now, we'll make a vow to just;
keep it in the closet.
