I didn't know a lover'd hurt for lovin' you

Oooh, I didn't know the luck for ever lovin' you

There never was a lovin' you get, you just get down
C G D
But you don't mind telling me around
C G D C G
I was seatin' sentinel with a Love-In with the bomb going high...
I'm tellin' lots of secrets to lovin' you
I fake it hold my back up to my lovin' you
I don't really love her, sittin' hate pray for her
I don't know what you did to make me over
I love lovin', gonna drive tonight

D Gsus2/D D Gsus2/D
Hey, lady, yeah, you better break me down
D Gsus2/D D Gsus2/D
Hey, pixy chick, you gonna break me down
I looked oh so sacred on the bed tonight
Hmm, I know you what you sayin', but you great tonight
Alone at last
Alone at last
We're alone at last
Why d'you stand so close to that man last night?
Oh, why d'you hear me 'fore you tune your glass that night?
I got your memory caught in my mind and you
You'll know I'll sit before a second time
I will zip it in a much as disease that you do know
Tell me and turn any other way
Why d'you stand so close to that man last night?
Why d'you snookum and stink-o to that man last night?
C G D
We're alone at last
C G D
We're alone at last
C G D
We're alone at last

So you can tell me

Why d'you stand so close to that ugly man last night?
