[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C D Em
I met her on a Friday evening
C D Em
Heading for the city lights
C D Em
She asked me to take her all of the way
C D Em
She was really in the mood that night
[Verse 2]
C D Em
I drove on 'til I was tired
C D Em
Asked her if she'd care to stay
C D Em
I booked us a room in a fancy hotel
C D Em
And said we'd carry on next day
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C D Em
We hadn't spoken but a word or so
C D Em
She began to unbutton my shirt
C D Em
I lifted her blouse, there was nothing underneath
C D Em
Then I slid my hands inside her skirt
[Verse 4]
C D Em
Everything about her was golden
C D Em
She was hot as the rising sun
C D Em
She was real as it comes and nothing more real
C D Em
Than the two of us together made one
[Chorus]
C D Em
Never take sweets from a stranger
C D Em
She may wanna take you for a ride
C D Em C D Em
Never take sweets from a stranger________
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
C D Em
She lay in my arms in the morning
C D Em
Said she had to make a telephone call
C D Em
I said, "Make it here while I step in the shower"
C D Em
But she said she'd make it in the hall
[Verse 6]
C D Em
I dozed in the soft light shadows
C D Em
Turned to find she wasn't there
C D Em
I phoned on down to the reception desk
C D Em
For the girl with the golden hair
[Instrumental]
C D Em (4x)
[Verse 7]
C D Em
I pulled on my clothes and went down to the hall
C D Em
Looked all around and who knows where
C D Em
They said they hadn't seen her at all
C D Em
Then the other guests began to stare
[Verse 8]
C D Em
They showed me the morning paper
C D Em
On the front page of the Daily Sun
C D Em
Was a picture of the girl with the golden hair
C D Em
She'd been the victim of a hit and run
[Chorus]
C D Em
Never take sweets from a stranger
C D Em
She may wanna take you for a ride
C D Em C D Em
Never take sweets from a stranger________
[Outro]
