           Am               E           Am                E
she had a lot of love to give, I was prepared to take it all
"And what did she do next?"
Am             E              Am             E
She had disrobed, and she was waiting on the floor.

             Am              E                  Am            E
She asked me what it was I want, I thought that I wanted it all.
"What did you say?"
E(open)
I said "Stand up and move your body to the bed."

            C
She quickly stood, and slowly turned, and

         E
here's exactly what she said.

F                   D/F#              G                 E/G#
"Please be soft and sweet to me, this life has not been good

"And what did you do next?"
Am            E            A           E    
I broke a smile reminding that I paid her well.

           Am                 E                Am            E
Her lips returned, and then I felt her hands unbuckling my belt.
"So was it good?"
E(open)
It felt like heaven, but I'm sure she was in hell-

          C                                  E           
I made it clear I'd get my money's worth out of the goods she sells.

F                  E/G#          Am                F
