[Chorus]
G
Never said I loved you
C D G
'Cause I didn't want to lower my guard
G
Never said I loved you
C D G
I ain't always this hot
[verse]
G
When the waiter shouts for last call
C D
Says her name with total recall
G
Suggests a perfect place to go
C D
No human being shall ever know
G
The places I can take you to
C D
They've even got a skyline view
[Chorus]
G
But I won't say I love you
C D G
'Cause I don't want to lower my guard
Won't say I love you
C D G
I ain't always this hot

G
She acts surprised to hear him scheme
C D
But answers yes just like a dream
G
But don't forget I need respect
C D
Important things I must protect
G
My reputation at the office
C D
Please forgive my cowardice
[Chorus]

A
After all the groaning's over
D E
He starts to smile and rolls her over
A
Another number in the book
D E
He wants to ask her if she'll talk
A
I'm sorry if you've been mislead
D E
But I'd rather you than an empty bed
A
Disappearing in thin air
D E
She starts to smile and combs her hair
A
I hope he phones on Friday night
D E
I've nothing planned and he's all right
A
Maybe we could catch a show
D E
With subtle words I'll let him know
Key change back to G
