Verse:
A
Baby here I am, and I'm a man upon the scene

I have to give you what you want but you gotta come home with me
A
And I got a whole load of good old lovin', and I got some in store
A
When I get through throwin' it on you got to come back for some more


Bridge:
E
Boys and things will come by the dozen
E
But that ain't nothing but drug-store lovin'


Chorus:
E
Pretty little thing let me light your candle

'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle

Now, yes around


Verse 2:
A
Actions speak louder than words, and I'm a man with great experience
A
I know you got you another man but I can love you better than him
A
Take my hand and don't be afraid, I'm gonna prove every word I say
A
I'm advertising love for free, so won't you place your ad with me
