She sits alone waiting for suggestions
Bb5            Bb5              A5
He's so nervous, avoiding all the questions
Bb5                Bb5              A5
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Bb5              Bb5                   A5

     Come on honey let's spend the night together
    Bb5             Bb5              A5
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Bb5            Bb5             A5
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
Bb5                 Bb5             A5
   They catch a cab to his high rise apartment

They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing
Bb5                  Bb5                      C5
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Bb5             Bb5             C5
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
Bb5               Bb5               C5
They got each other, neither one's complaining
Bb5                      Bb5              C5
He says, "I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee"
Bb5                   Bb5              C5
Never mind sugar, we can watch the early movie

Sugar

If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know

Come on sugar let me know
If you, if you, if you really need me
Just come on and tell me so
Just reach out and tell me so
