She sits alone waiting for suggestions

His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding

Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy

Come on sugar let me know

If you really need me just reach out and touch me

Come on honey tell me so, tell me so baby

Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Bbmaj7 Bb Am7
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
Bbmaj7 Bb Am7
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment

At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant

Bbmaj7/G Bb C7
They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing
Bbmaj7 Bb C7
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Bbmaj7 Bb C7
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
Bbmaj7 Bb C7
They got each other, neither one's complaining
Bbmaj7 Bb C7
He says, "I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee"
Bbmaj7 Bb C7
Never mind sugar, we can watch the early movie

Sugar
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you really, really, really, really need me

Come on sugar let me know
If you, if you, if you really need me
Just come on and tell me so
Just reach out and tell me so
