 > VERSE I:
  When  I was a young boy,  said put away those young  boy ways
  Now  that I'm gettin' older,  so much older I  love all those young  boy days.
  With  a girl like you,  with  a girl like you,
   Lord knows there are things we  can do, baby, just  me and you.
 Come on and make it . . .
 > CHORUS:
   hurt so good.  Come  on baby, make it hurt  so good.
 Sometimes  love  don't feel  like it should. You make it . . . hurt  so good.
 > Repeat Intro
 > VERSE II: (same chord pattern as Verse I)
 Don't have to be so exiting.
 Just tryin' to give myself a little bit of fun, yeah.
 You always look so invitin' you ain't as green as you are young
 Hey baby, its you. Come on, girl, now, its you.
 Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby.
 Let's see what we can do. Come on and make it . . .
 > Repeat Chorus.
  I  ain't talkin' no big  deals; I ain't  made no plans  myself.
  I  ain't talkin' no high heels; Maybe we could walk  around all day long,
 walk around all day long.
 > Repeat Intro and fade
