Verse 1
Abmaj7          Dbmaj7        N.C.
	Come          closer

Abmaj7             Dbmaj7   			   NC
      Feel             what youve been dyin for

Gb(addG#)                   Fm              Bbm                Bb*7   NC
            Dont      be afraid, baby.     Touch it    and explode.

(Same pattern is followed for verse 2)
Understand, understand that I love you
Ah, but more than that, I want you
Everybody always told me good things come to those who wait
But Ive got so much on the menu, I just cant, I just cant
(until)

Abmaj7		     Dbmaj7(sus4)    Dbmaj7
    I cant wait baby,                 I cant wait

    Abmaj7(addE)   Amaj7(addB)
baby,                     to wrap

Dbmaj7(addA)           Dbmaj7
my legs all around you girl

    Gb(addG)
Cuz sugar you know youre just the kind of lover

Fm6
   Ive been looking for

Bbm						                     
Tonight why dont we skip all the foreplay mama

Fb*7
    and just get down here on the floor?


Chorus
Ab		Dbmaj7

Ab		Dbmaj7
     Marvelous 	     Baby, baby, cant you see?

Gb				     Fm
    Anything you ever dreamed of 	Im willing to be

Bbm					  Fb*7
   Tonight is gonna be scandalous cuz tonight Im gonna be
your fantasy

(then comes a solo-type of part (My dearest, my dearest)
which follows this chord pattern, slightly different than before)

Abmaj7    Dbmaj7   N.C.  Abmaj7   Dmaj7    NC
Gb(addG#)   Fm  Bbm   Bb(?)

Verse 3 (same as Verse 1 except where indicated *)
Whisper, whisper a question
With my body, Ill scream a reply
Ebm7*
Anythings acceptable
Just ask me and Ill try
To hell with hesitation
     Bb(?)*
To hell with reasons why

Outro
Essentially the same as Verse 1

Note: There are various keyboard riffs he plays
throughout the song which I will transcribe at a later date.
