Hey, o ver there,

So come here,

Make it clear,

lit tle ques tion, wan na know just how you feel.

If I said my (Abmaj7)heart was beat ing loud, if we could es (Gm)cape the crowd some how, if I said I (Abmaj7)want your bod y now,

would you (Gm)hold it a gainst me?

’Cause you (Ab)feel like (Bb)par a dise, and I (Gm)need a va ca tion to night.

So, if I said I (Abmaj7)want your bod y now,

would you (Gm)hold it a gainst me?

Hey, you might think

I might be

I want more,

wan na see it, so I’m ask in’ you to night: If I said my (Abmaj7)heart was beat ing loud, if we could es (Gm)cape the crowd some how, if I said I (Abmaj7)want your bod y now,

’Cause you (Ab)feel like (Bb)par a dise, and I (Gm)need a va ca tion to night.

So, if I said I (Abmaj7)want your bod y now,

Yeah.

Oh.

(Cm)Give me some thing (Csus2)good,

Pop it like a (Csus2)hood,

Al right.

If I said my (Abmaj7)heart was beat ing loud,

(CN.C.)would you hold it a gainst me?

If I said my (Abmaj7)heart was beat ing loud, if we could es (Gm)cape the crowd some how, if I said I (Abmaj7)want your bod y now,
