Captured | effortless-ly, | thats the | way it was
| Happened | so natural-ly, | I did not | know it was love
| The next thing| I felt was you,| holding | me close
| What was | I gonna do? | I let my |-self go

(Power chords)
I've been waiting for you, It's been so long.
I knew just what I would do, when I heard your song.
You filled my heart with your bliss, you gave me freedom.
You knew I could not resist, I needed someone.
And now we're flyin' through the stars I hope this night lasts forever...
Huh, Huh, Huh, Hu-h...
| Ain't no| body (nobody!)| loves me | better (loves me better!)

(Power Chords)
I wait for night time to come, to bring you to me.
I can't bel-ieve I'm the one; I was so lone-ly.
I feel like no one could feel; I must be dream-ing.
I want this dream to be real. I need this feel-ing.
I make my wish upon a star and hope this night will last forever
Huh, Huh, Huh, Hu-h...
Ain't nobody, (nobody!) loves me better,
makes me happy, makes me feel this way.
Ain't nobody, (nobody babe...) loves me better (nobody makes me feel..)
Ain't nobody, loves me better (than
|you). | | |
| | At| first you put your |arms around me.
| | Th-|-en you put your ch|arms around me.
| | I ca|n't re-sist this swe|et surrender,
| | o-|n a night so wa|rm and tender.
| | We|stare into each o|ther's eyes,
| | and| what we see is |no surprise.
| | | Got a fee-ling m|ost would treasure,
| | and a | love so deep we |cannot measure!
Ain't nobody (nobody!), loves me better (that .. can make me feel this way.)
Makes me happy, makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody) , loves me better (nobody)
Ain't nobody, loves me better (nobody baby..)
Ain't nobody, (nobody baby..) loves me better
(Repeat and fade out)
Some fill-ins sung by Chaka Kahn during the last Choruses before fade out:
(Aaah (you) make me feel just like your love, (is) so much love,
(I) can't look up, feel the bonk of love ... now I know .. another bite ..
makes me want to scream and shout ... whoa .. nobody)
A Note on Lyrics:
Chorus parts were sung by background singers. Parts sung by Chaka Kahn during Chorus are
listed in (parentheses).
A Note on Chords:
(1) You can use "Bm7" (B minor Seven) instead of "D/B", wich means "D major using a "B"
instead of a "D" as lowest note.
(2) In the VERSES: If you prefer to (to some of you, it might sound better), you can
also use plain "D" major chords instead of "D/C" and "D/E".
I play those chords around the seventh fret. There, those base notes sound OK to me.
(3) "B7sus4" means a B suspended chord with an additional seventh
and a fourth ("E") note instead of the third. The notes (1-5-7-4') are (B-F-a-e).
"Cmaj7" means a plain C major chord with an addtional major seventh ("B") note.
"Em" and "Am" mean "E minor" and "A minor" chords.
Credits:
I'd like to thank the guy who posted the previous "intermediate" chords and lyrics
version for providing me with a basis to work on.
Basically I did not entirely agree with the chords and changed some of the phrasing in
the lyrics
to match with what I heard on the 1984 Rufus and Chaka Kahn recording.
I hope some folks think it was worthwhile enhancing it.
