Bb7M/G       Bb             Am7
She sits alone waiting for suggestions
Bb7M            Bb              Am7
He's so nervous, avoiding all the questions
Bb7M                Bb              Am7
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Bb7M              Bb                   Am7
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy

Come on honey tell me so, tell me so baby

Bb7M/G        Bb             Am7
He's acting shy looking for an answer
Bb7M                   Bb              Am7
     Come on honey let's spend the night together
    Bb7M             Bb              Am7
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Bb7M            Bb             Am7
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
Bb7M                 Bb             Am7
   They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
Bb7M         Bb       Am7
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant

    Am7                    D
His heart's beating like a drum
          Am7                     D
'cause at last he's got this girl home
Gm          Bbm             Bb
Relax baby, now we are all alone

Bb7M/G                 Bb                 C7
They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing
Bb7M                  Bb                      C7
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Bb7M             Bb             C7
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
Bb7M               Bb               C7
They got each other, neither one's complaining
Bb7M                      Bb              C7
He says, "I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee"
Bb7M                   Bb              C7
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
If you really, really, really, really need me
Just let me know
Just reach out and touch me

If you really want me
Just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know

If you really need me j-j-just reach out and touch me
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
