 Aaah...

E  A7 (x6)

Verse 1:

E                                A7
 Did I hear you say you love me?
          E                 A7
Well baby I've got to know.
     E                               A7
'Cos if you really, feel you love me,
              E                 A7
You've got to do things to show.

E                                   A7
 Don't give me the wrong impression,
E                      A7
 By showing me warm ex-pressions.
E                              A7
 Put me in the right direction,
E                        A7
 With tender love and af-fection.

Chorus 1:

A7                         D7
 I've been standing on the outside,
G7         A7  Bb7    B7
 Trying to get on the inside.

Verse 2:

E                                A7
 Did I hear you say you need me?
          E                 A7
Well baby tell me the truth.
     E                               A7
'Cos if you really, feel you need me,
              E                    A7
My sweetness, here's what I'll do;

E                             A7
 Cut out all my crazy playing,
     E                         A7
'Cos for your love I have been laying.
     E                                  A7
Just tell me that is what you're saying,
    E                               A7
And I'll be yours without delaying.
                   A7
Without de-laying.

Chorus 2:

A7                         D7

 Trying to get on the inside.

'Cos if you really, really want me,
              E                 A7
You've got to give me your best.

E                                     A7
 Put my love life right in the pocket,
    E                             A7 
And dare someone to try to top it.
    E                                A7
And when you think I want to drop it;

 Just love me 'till I beg don't stop it.
