Some bod y’s gon na hurt some one

Some bod y’s gon na come un done;

Ev ’ry bod y wants to (E5)touch some bod y,

if it takes all night.

Ev ’ry bod y wants to (C5)take a lit tle chance,

make it come out right.

There’s gon na be a (C7)heart ache to night, a heart ache to night, I know.

There’s gon na be a heart ache to night, a heart ache to night, I know.

Lord, I (D)know.

Some peo ple like to (Em)stay out late.

But (G)no bod y wants to (C)go home now;
