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