Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

well I can't tell you why I left you

 and I don't quite know why I'm here

 but nothing has moved my spirit

 since I saw you late last year

every lover knows a reason

 and every woman has felt the same

 although our minds record each heartache

 a little lovin' can take away the pain

(chorus)

hold me, hold me, hold me close

 caress my shoulders and my toes

 make me forget what I can't

 be my lover and my man

a man he gives you all you need

 (ooo)

some money to spend and a kiss when you please

 (ooo)

when you're broke down on the road

 (ooo)

he'll come on by and lighten your load

well I guess I owe you something too

 well it seems you've finally come on through

 and my southern manners do oblige

 won't you come on over for a slice of pie?

(chorus)

hold me, hold me, hold me close

 caress my shoulders and my toes

 make forget what I can't

 be my lover and my man
