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 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)
