VERSE 1:
[Bb *] Baby here I am, and I'm a man upon the scene
I have to give you what you want but you gotta come home with me
And I got a whole load of good old lovin', and I got some in store
When I get through throwin' it on you got to come back for some more
CHORUS:
[F] Boys and things will come by the dozen
[F] But that ain't nothing but drug-store lovin'
[F open] Pretty little thing let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle now, yes around

[Bb *] Actions speak louder than words, and I'm a man with great experience
I know you got you another man but I can love you better than him
Take my hand and don't be afraid, I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free, so won't you place your ad with me
