[Verse]
Bbmaj7/G Bb Am7
She sits alone waiting for suggestions
Bbmaj7 Bb Am7
He's so nervous, avoiding all the questions
Bbmaj7 Bb Am7
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Bbmaj7 Bb Am7
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?
[Chorus]
Dm
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
F
Come on sugar let me know
Dm
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
F
Come on honey tell me so, tell me so baby
(Instrumental x2 for sax melody)

[Verse]
Bbmaj7/G Bb Am7
He's acting shy looking for an answer
Bbmaj7 Bb Am7
Come on honey let's spend the night together
Bbmaj7 Bb Am7
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Bbmaj7 Bb Am7
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
Bbmaj7 Bb Am7
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
Bbmaj7 Bb Am7
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant
[Chorus]
Dm
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
F
Come on honey tell me so
Dm
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
F
Come on sugar let me know
(Instrumental x2 for sax melody)

[Verse]
Bbmaj7/G Bb C7
They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing
Bbmaj7 Bb C7
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Bbmaj7 Bb C7
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
Bbmaj7 Bb C7
They got each other, neither one's complaining
Bbmaj7 Bb C7
He says, "I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee"
Bbmaj7 Bb C7
Never mind sugar, we can watch the early movie
[Chorus]

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy

Sugar
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you really, really, really, really need me
Just let me know
Just reach out and touch me
If you really want me
Just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you really need me j-j-just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you, if you, if you really need me
Just come on and tell me so
Just reach out and tell me so
