Am                       F
I ain’t got no need for territory (me neither)
I ain’t got no need for territory (me neither)
I ain’t got no need for territory (me neither)
I ain’t got no need for territory

I take you down, down to the sea
Can't you see honey, looking at me
Like I've got some answer to some disease
And I'm just happy, on your knees
And I see, love, in your eyes
Never should have run
Never should have let you lie
Down, on my shoulder, babe
But oooiiillll

Chorus:
I ain't got no need for territory, with you
I ain't got no need for territory, with you
I ain't got no need for territory, with you

It's all about
Oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil
It's all about
Oil, oil, oil, oil
It's all about, about oil
