[Intro]
D        D

[Verse 1]
D
Maybe you want to give
me kisses sweet
    D
But only for one night
with no repeat
    D
And maybe you'll go away
and never call
      G                 A
And a taste of honey is worse
             D
than none at all

[Chorus]
D
Oh, little girl
   G                          D
In that case, I don't want no part
                  G
I do believe that that
                    D
would only break my heart
D7  D                         A
So, if you feel like loving me,
                   G
if you've got that notion
G              D
I second that emotion
D7  D                         A
So, if you feel like giving me
                 G
a life time of devotion
G              D            A
I second that emotion, mmm!

[Verse 2]
D
Maybe you think that
love will tie you down
    D
And you don't seem
to like to hang around
   D
Or maybe you think that
love was made for fools
G                A
So, it makes you wise
             D
to break the rules

[Chorus]
D
Oh, oh!
   G                          D
In that case, I don't want no part

I do believe that that
                    D
would only break my heart
D7  D                         A
So, if you feel like loving me,
                   G
if you've got that notion
G              D
I second that emotion
D7  D                         A
So, if you feel like giving me
                 G
a life time of devotion
