Woah, couldn't seem to get a line on you, my sweet honey love

 

Verse 2:

C                        C/B

    Berber jew'lry jangling down the street

Make you shut your eyes at ev'ry woman that you meet

Warm like the evening sun

Well, you're drunk in the alley, baby, with your clothes all torn

And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn

Woah, just seemed too many flies on you, I just can't brush them off

Angels beating all their wings in time

With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes

Woah, thought I heard one sigh for you

   Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now
