Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]Wow
[D]It's really good to see you again, baby
[Am]And I must admit you're looking very, very,
[G]very nice these days
[C]I guess life must be treating you well
[D]Oh, me?
Well, I've just been doin' the same ol' thing
[Am]I've always been doin', you know
I've got a new lady now
And it's a little [G]different
then it was when I was with you
[C]You know, I think back to when we met
[D]The way I used to be
and the cold way I used to act
[Am]But more than that,
think of how you changed me
with your love and sensi[G]tivity
Remember when I used to
[C]Love them and leave them

[Verse 1]
[Dm]That[G]'s what I used to [E]do
[Am]Use and abuse them
[G]Then I laid eyes on you,
it was [C]pain before pleasure
[Dm]That[G] was my claim to[E] fame
[Am]With every measu[G]re, baby
Tasted teardrop stains, [C]yeah

[Pre-chorus 1]
I was [G]cold as ice long ago, baby, [C]baby
I wasn't [G]very, very, very nice, you know
Sugar, sugar, su[C]gar
Then I [G]kissed your lips

[Chorus 1]
and you turned on my fire,
[C](baby)[Dm]
And you [G]burned me up with[E]in your [Am]flame
Took me a little [G]higher
Made me live again,
you turned on my [C]fire, [Dm]baby
Then you [G]showed me what a [E]love could do
[Am]Fire and desir[G]e baby
Feel it comin' [C]through And I thank you, baby

[Bridge 1]
[Dm]Oh, how I thank you, baby
[Am]You taught me so much and you showed me
so much love and sensitivity
[G]That since you've been gone
I don't think I've ever felt this way before
[C]You know it's funny how a man can change
so quickly
[Dm]from a cold-blooded person
Thinkin' he's God gift to women
Remember how I used to [Am]do that?
I must have been crazy then
[G]Remember when you used to
[C]Love them and leave them

[Verse 2]
[Dm]
[G]Oh, that's what I [E]used to do
[Am]Use them and abuse them, whoa
[G]Then I laid eyes on you
It was [C]pain before [Dm]pleasure
[G]Oh, that was my [E]claim to fam[Am]e
With every [G]measure
Tasted your teardrop stains, [C]yeah

[Pre-chorus 2]
You were cold [G]as ice long ago baby, ba[C]by
I-I wasn't, I-I wasn't very very
[G]nice, I know, whoo!
Sugar, sugar, [C]sugar, sugar,
Then I kissed your lips and [G]you turned on my

[Chorus 2]
[C](fire, ba- [Dm]by)
Then you [G]showed me
what a [E]love could [Am]do
Fire and de[G]si re
Feelin' good to you
You turned on my [C]fire [Dm]ba by
And you [G]burned me with[E]in your [Am]flame
Fire and desire
[G]And we're both to blame

[Bridge 2]
[Dm]You know
I guess I think we both said
a little too [Am]much today
After all, Tee,
[G]you're kind of with somebody else
I'm kind of livin' with somebody
[C]But please do me a favor just before you go
[Dm]Just put your arms around me
and hold me like you used to
[Am]Tell me "Rick
"Everything is gonna [G]be alright"
Put your arms around me
[C]Put your arms around me[Dm]
[Am]Oh, baby[G] Oh, baby

[Outro 1]
[C][Dm][Am][G]
[C]
[Repeat and fade]
