1. Yeah, every evening when all my day‘s work is through,

                   Am

    I call my baby and I ask her what shall we do ?

                       C

    I mention movies, but she don‘t seem to dig that,

                          Am

    and then she asks me, why don‘t I come to her flat

                                C

    and have some supper and let the evening pass by

                           Am

    and when she kisses, I feel the fire get hot,

                      Am

    she never misses, and she gives it all that she‘s got.

                      Am

     it‘s hard to tell you, because I‘m trembling still,

    but pretty baby, I want you all for my own,

                     Am  

    I think I‘m ready to leave those others alone.

                        C

    No need to ask me if everything is okay,
