 If love is what you want, baby, here I am ,

 if tenderness is what you need  I've got that to give.

 You come home  you've had a hard day,

 every door you tried to open  was closing in your face.

F                        G                        
  Every corner you turn,  oh, trouble come your way,
F                        G
