Bridge :


F                    
The last time that I saw you,
  G
I shouted and I fought you,
     F
That awful night we parted,
    G
was when this nightmare started.
    F
But now tonight I see you,
    G                G7  
And jesus how I miss you.

Chorus :

Oh baby baby baby, hold me closely, and softly sweetly kiss my lips, my lips
Oh baby baby baby, hold me closely, I softly sweetly kiss your lips, your lips.
