when you make
love [D] to Clarence Carter, I make
[G] love to my woman [D] on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
[G] Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I make
love [D] every day _ _ [G] _
_ and [D] _ _ I [G] don't stop
making love to my woman [D] till I
know she's satisfied [G] _
and _ [D] _ I can
[G] always tell when she's satisfied
[D] because when she gets satisfied,
[G] _
she said,
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] Every time she [G] gets satisfied,
she said, [D] _ _ _ [G] I _ said, [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] baby, is
[G] everything all right?
She [D] said,
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ well, [G] I guess it's about time
for me to go to the [D] dressing
room now.
_ _ [G]
Get me some more
[D] mainstay but _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ I don't want to
drink [G] this mainstay by myself.
[D] _ _ I got [G] to find me a woman [D] to help
me drink this mainstay [G]
and _ [D] if I
find her, you'll know [G] it because
all you got to do [D] is pass by my
hotel room about 3 [G] o'clock and
you'll hear her say,
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
So _ [D] _ _ as [G] I leave the stage, I want
you [D] to put your hands together
and give me a little soul [G] clap.

That's [G] right.
