Thank you all so much.
I wrote [A] this song with [D] Candy Parton.
[B] And Candy showed [D#] up at my door one day in her Calgary boots and [E] Calgary outfit
and was stomping her [C#] boobs and said,
I want to know you [D#] before we make love.
And I said, but Candy, I'm not that way.
[E]
Anyway, we wrote [C#] this song.
Alabama recorded the song first.
It was on [D#] their 40-hour week album.
[E] Randy Owen told me that it wasn't [D] going to be a single.
[D#] And I cried all the way to [A#] Conway Petty.
And Conway Petty took this [D#] song to number one.
[A]
Now, back when Conway had this [Dm] song out,
I opened some shows [D#] for Conway.
And he was the most wonderful man in the world.
We had a lot of chances to visit on his bus.
And he told me that whenever anybody pitched a song to him,
he didn't look at the lyrics sheet because he did not want to know who wrote the song.
He did not want that to have any influence on if he cut the song or not.
[C#] And I [D#] pitched him a song once that, and he [D#] told me about this.
He said, you pitched me a song one [E] time, and he didn't feel it was right for him.
So he played it for Tammy Wynette.
That's the kind of [D#] guy Conway Petty [A] was.
Songwriter's best friend.
I think this is good, Lynn.
Check one, two.
[D] [A]
[D]
[A] Sometimes all you need is someone to [D] hold you.
[A] Sometimes that's all you're [D] looking for.
[F#m] And I'd like to take the [A] time to get to [D#m] know you.
[D] Cause I don't want [A] this time to be [Bm] like all the times [E] before.
And I [A] want to hold you before [D] I make love to you.
I want [A] to show you all of my [D]
heart.
[Em] And [C#m] when I look into [F#m] your eyes, I want [C#m] to feel the love [F#m] inside [E] [D] you.
I [A] want to know you [D] [E] before [A] we make love.
[D] [E]
I've learned from all those lonely nights with [D] strangers.
[A]
It takes time for real love [D] to be found.
[F#m] I feel the [A] invitation of your [B] body.
But [D] I'd like to look [A] inside your soul [Bm] before I lay [E] the ground.
[D] [E] And I [A] want to hold you before I [D] make love to you.
I want to [A] show you all of my heart.
[Em]
And when [F#m] I look into [C#m] your eyes, I want to feel the [F#m] love [E]
inside [D] you.
I [A] want to know you [D]
[E] before [A] we make [G] love.
[D] And if winter is [E] all [C#m] together, [F#m] [D] we might make [A] it last [Bm] forever.
[E]
I want [A] to hold you before [D] I make love to you.
I [A] want to show you all of my [D]
[E] heart.
[E] And [C#m] when I look into [F#m] those eyes, I want [C#m] to feel the love [F#m] inside [E] [D] you.
I [A] want to know you [D] before [E]
[A] we make love.
[F#m] [D] I want [A] to know you, baby, before we make love.
