[Fm]
Wow, [Ab]
[Gb] it's [Ebm]
really good to [Bbm] see you again baby.
[Ab]
And I [Fm] must admit, you're looking very, [Gb] very, very nice these days.
[Ab]
[Db] I guess life must be treating you well.
[Gb]
Oh me?
Well I've just been doing the [Ab] same old thing I've always been doing, you know.
I've got a new lady now, and [Gb] it's a little different than it was when I was with you.
[Db] You know, I think back to when we met.
[Ebm] The way I used to be, and the [Gb] cold way [Bbm] I used to act.
[Ab]
But more than that, I think of how you changed me with [Db] your [Gb] love and sensitivity.
Remember [Ab] when I used to
Love [Db]
them and leave [Ebm] them.
[Gb] That's what [Bbm] I used to [Ab] do.
Used and abused them.
[Gb]
Then I laid [Ab] eyes on you.
It was [Db] pain before pleasure.
[Bbm]
That was my claim to [Ab] fame.
With every measure, [Gb] baby.
Tasted [Ebm] teardrop [Gb] stains, yeah.
[Db]
I was [Ab] cold as ice [Fm]
[Ab] long ago, [Db]
baby, baby.
I [Ab] wasn't very, very, [Db] very nice, you [Ab] know.
[Db] Sugar, sugar, sugar.
Then I kissed [Ab] your lips and you [Fm] turned [Ab] on my
[Db] fire, [Gb] baby.
[Ab] And [Ebm] you [Gb] burned me up within your [Ab] flame.
[Fm]
Took [Db] me a little higher.
[Gb] Made me [Ab] live again.
[Db] You turned on my [Ab] fire, [Db]
[Gb] baby.
[Ab] Then [Gb] you showed me [Bbm] what a love [Ab] could do.
[Fm]
Fire and [Bbm] desire, baby.
[Gb]
Feel [Ab] it [Gb] coming [Db] through.
And I thank you, [Gb] baby.
Oh, [Ebm]
how I thank you, baby.
[Ab]
You taught me so much and you showed me so much [Db] love and [Gb] sensitivity.
[Db] But since you've been [Ebm] gone, I don't think I've ever felt [Bbm] this way before.
[Fm]
[Db] You know, it's funny how a man can change [Ebm] so quickly from a cold-blooded person thinking he's God's gift to [Bbm] a woman.
Remember how I [Ab] used to do that?
[Fm] I must have been crazy [Db] then.
[Gb]
Remember when you [Ab] [Bbm] used to.
[Db]
Love
[Gb] [Ab]
them and [Gb] leave them.
[Bbm]
That's what I used to [Ab] do.
Use and abuse them.
[Gb] Then I laid eyes on you.
[Ab] It was [Db] pain.
[Ebm]
That [Bbm] was my claim [Fm] to fame.
With every [Gb] measure.
[Db]
[Ebm] [Db] Chased in your [Gb] teardrop [Db] stains.
You were [Ab] cold as ice.
Long ago.
[Db] Baby, baby.
I wasn't.
[Ab]
[Db]
Sugar, sugar, sugar.
Then I kissed your [Ab] lips and you.
You [Db] turned on [Ab]
me.
[Ebm]
Then you showed [Bbm] me what a [Ab] love.
[Fm]
Fire [Db] and [Gb] desire.
Fire and desire.
Feeling [Ab]
good to you.
[Db] You burned [Ab]
[Ebm]
[Gb]
me up [Bbm] within [Ab] your flame.
[Fm] Fire [Db] and [Gb] desire.
And we're both to [Db] blame.
Both to blame.
[Ab] [Db] [Ebm]
You know, [Bbm] I guess I think we both [Ab] say a little too much today.
After all, T.
[Bbm] [Gb]
You're kind of with somebody.
[Db] I'm kind of living with somebody.
But please do me a [Ab] favor.
Just [Fm] [Db] put [Ebm]
your arms around me.
[Gb]
[Bbm] And hold me like you used to.
[Ab]
Take a [Fm] look.
[Ab] [Db] [Gb] Everything's gonna be alright.
[Ab] [Gb]
Put your [Bbm] arms around [Db] me.
[Ab] Put your arms around me.
