Oh!
Nobody on the road, nobody on the [B] beach.
The wind is in the air, the summer's out [C#] of reach.
Empty legs, empty feet, the sun goes down around.
[B]
Driving by your house, so [C#m] I know you're not [F#] home.
I can see [C#] you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
You got your hair [B] combed out and sunglasses on, [F#] baby.
[C#]
[B] I'm a love girl.

I never will forget those nights.
I wonder if it was a [B] dream.
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I'm, [C#]
I don't understand
what happened to our love.
[B]
Babe, I'm gonna get you back.
I'm gonna show you what [F#] I'm made of.
I can see [C#] you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
I see you walking real [B] slow, smiling at [F#] everyone.
[C#]
[F#] All [B] I have done.

Out on the road today,
I saw a dead head sticking on a [B] Cadillac.
The little voice inside my head said,
don't look back, you can never look [C#] back.
Thought I knew what love was, what did I learn?
[B]
Those days are gone forever.
[C#] I should just let her [F#] go.
I can see [C#] you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
You got the top rolled [F#] down and laid low, baby.
I can tell [C#] you're
[B] a love girl.
[F#]
I can see you, [C#] baby, your brown skin shining in the sun.
You got the hair [B] slicked back and straight back.
Don't [F#] move it.
I can [C#]
[F#] tell you're a love girl.
