                    A

I used to go out to parties, And stand around

                    A

'Cause I was too nervous To really get down

       D   E           A            B

But my body yearned to be free

                 D            E           A            B

I got up on the floor and thought Somebody could choose me

No more standin' there beside the walls

I done got myself together baby And now I'm havin' a ball

As long as you're groovin' There's always a chance

Somebody watches Might wanna make romance

Move your body, oooo baby, you dance all night

To the groove and feel alright

Everybody's groovin' on like a fool

But if you see me spread out and let me in

Baby just party high and low

Let me step into your erotic zone

Move it up. Turn it 'round

Oooo shake it down

Oowwww, you can love me when you want to babe

This is such a groovy party baby We're here face to face

Everybody's swingin' This is such a groovy place

All the young ladies are so fine

You're movin your body easy with no doubts

I know what you thinkin' baby You wanna turn me on

Keep on dancin' Got to give it up

Keep on dancin' Got to give it up

[repeat until end]

Intro licks.. A e b x2

B

Baby here I am, and I'm a man upon the scene

I can 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

 

F#

Boys and things will come by the dozen

But that ain't nothing but drug-store lovin'

B

Pretty little thing let me light your candle

'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle

A E B x4

 

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

 

Chorus (w/  A E B x4)

 

Improv over verse:

Give it to me, I got to have it

Some of your love, that’s all i need

early in the morning, late in the evening

In the midnight hour, i need your love

Feels so nice… Feels so nice..

I just get a little hard to handle

Just get a little hard to handle..

Give it to me… c’mon

I’m beggin u baby cuz you’re all I need.

Jam in B.

After a while bass goes: B A D F# x4, then B again x4, then B A D F# x4

then the solo ends by holding that last F# x4.

Repeat First Verse, then Chorus, and end with just one A E B.
