I come awake, with the gift for woman-kind,
Dm7 F G Dm7 F G
You're still asleep, but the gift don't seem to mind,
Dm7 F G Dm7 F G
Rise on this occasion, halfway up your back,
Dm7 F G Dm7
Sliding down your body, touching your behind!

Oh, you come awake, in a horny morning mood,

Roll against my body, get me where you want me,

What happens next is private, it's also very rude!
