     G
Well Olivia's taken
       C                                 G
But a look like her's can be found from time to time


      C
Yeah, Olivia's taken
                                        G
But a look like her's can be found from time to time



             D                
I'm thinking something like Olivia
  C               G 
Is what I need to find


             G
There's only one man in this world
            C                            G
Who gets to sleep with her by his side


              C
There's only one man in this world
                                        G
Who gets to sleep with her by his side


             D
I'm thinking something like Olivia
  C                     G
Can keep me through the night

Now I'm not trying to steal

No lover away from no one man

No lover 'way from no one man


       D
But if Olivia herself were at my door
C                       G
I'd have to say I'd let her in
