[Verse 1]
Am
You're sweeter than the morning
Am
When the sun is shining down on me
Am
There is nothing you can say
Am
That could make me go away you see
Am
But you keep saying to me baby
 
[Chorus]
G    F
Hold on--I feel I'm getting ready
F    C
Hold on--I feel I'm rockin' steady
G    F
Hold on--I'm gonna make it with you woman
F    C                                              C   C/B   Am
Hold on--You got to gimme some love, gimme some love
 
[Verse 2]
Am
I held back before
Am
But your love took me easily
Am
You got the power
Am
I knew was gonna creep up on me
F
The more I give
     Ab         Bb        C
Your love keeps comin' on strong
F
Although it's mine now
  Ab            Bb     Ab
I know it won't be for long
         Bb     C
It won't be for long
                               C C/B Am
You're always coming on strong
 
Am
There's something in the saying
Am
That a woman needs a little more time
Am
I'm getting tired of waiting for you
Am
Giving me some kind of sign
 
[Chorus]
G    F
Hold on--I've got to love you when I want to
F    C
Hold on--You've got to love me when I want you to
G    F
Hold on--I ain't gonna let you leave me baby
F    C                   C C/B Am
Hold on--No never no more
 
Am
I know the game you're playing
Am
And I guess you think I'm easily led
Am
You think the words you're saying
Am
Are really going through my head
F
I'm gonna take you home
    Ab       Bb    C
And give you all I can
F
I'll prove to you, baby
     Ab     Bb    Ab
That really I'm a man
     Bb           C
That really I'm a man
