Thank you all so much.
I wrote [A] this song with [D] Candy Parton.
[D#] up at my door one day in her Calgary boots and [E] Calgary outfit
stomping her [C#] boobs and said,
And I said, but Candy, I'm not that way.
Anyway, we wrote [C#] this song.

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.

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.
