[Gm7] When everything’s a little clearer in the [C] light of day<\/p>\n
[Gm7] And you know the night is always gonna be there [C] Anyway<\/p>\n
[F] Thinking of you’s working up my appetite<\/p>\n
Looking [Gm7] forward to a little afternoon delight<\/p>\n
Rubbin’ [F] sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite<\/p>\n
And the [Gm7] thought of lovin’ you is getting so exciting<\/p>\n

I always [Gm7] thought a fish could not be caught who didn’t bite<\/p>\n
But you’ve [F] got some bait a waitin’ and I think I might<\/p>\n
Try [Gm7] nibbling a little afternoon delight<\/p>\n
