Strum
D-DU-UDU
well  I can't tell you why I left you
 and I don't quite know why I'm here
 but nothing has moved my spirit
 since I saw you late last year
every  lover knows a reason
 and every woman has felt the same
 although our minds record each heartache
 a little lovin' can take away the pain
 (chorus)
hold  me, hold me, hold me close
 caress my shoulders and my toes
 make me forget what I  can't
 be my lover and my man
a  man he gives you all you need
 (ooo)
 some money to spend and a kiss when you please
 (ooo)
 when you're broke down on the road
 (ooo)
 he'll come on by and lighten your load
well  I guess I owe you something too
 well it seems you've finally come on through
 and my southern manners do oblige
 won't you come on over for a slice of pie?
 (chorus)
hold  me, hold me, hold me close
 caress my shoulders and my toes
 make forget what I can't
 be my lover and my man
