Intro:

(Princess Stephanie of Monaco):

Am  G  F
        There's something I have to say to you,
Am      G                    F
 If you promise you'll under-stand.
Am            G           F                      Em7
 I cannot con-tain myself, when in your presence, I'm so humble.
Bm7b5                                        E7
 Touch me, don't hide our love, woman to man.

Am

Verse 1:

             Am
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.

Bridge 1:

Am                      E7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).
Am                      E7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).
Am                      E7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).
Am                      E7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).

Verse 2:

            Am
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.

Bridge 2:

Am                      E7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).
Am                      E7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).
Am                      E7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).
Am                      E7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).

Break:

(Princess Stephanie of Monaco):

F             E7                  Am
 One thing in life you must under-stand;
F             E7             Am
 The truth of lust, woman to man.
F            E7                 Am
 So open the door, and you will see;
             Bm7b5                           E7
There are no secrets; make your move; set me free.

Chorus 1:

                 F           E7        Am
Because, there's something a-bout you, baby,
              Fmaj7   E7         Am
That makes me want to give it to you.
                F           E7        Am
I swear there's something a-bout you, baby.

Fmaj7
 Just promise me; whatever we say, or whatever we do to each other:
Bm7b5                              E7 (n.C)
 For now, we'll make a vow to just; keep it in the closet.

Interlude:

Am

Verse 3:

           Am
If you can get it, it's worth a try,
I really want it; I can't deny.
It's just desire, I really love it,

(Princess Stephanie of Monaco):

'Cos if it's aching, you have to rub it.

Bridge 3:

Am                      E7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).
Am                      E7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).
Am                      E7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).
Am                      E7
 She wants to give it, (aah, she wants to give it).

Break:

(Princess Stephanie of Monaco):

F              E7                 Am
 Just open the door, and you will see;
F             E7               Am
 This passion burns, inside of me.
F             E7               Am
 Don't say to me, you'll never tell;
         Bm7b5                          E7
Touch me there, make the move, cast the spell.

Chorus 2:

                 F           E7        Am
Because, there's something a-bout you, baby,

That makes me want to give it to you.
