[Bm] [Em] [G] [A] [Bm] [Em] [G] [A]
[Bm]The club isn’t the best [Em]place to find a lover

Come on now, [Em]follow my lead
[G]I may be crazy, [A]don’t mind me, say

[chorus]
[Bm]Boy, let’s not [Em]talk too much
[G]Grab on my waist and [A]put that body on [Bm]me
Come on now, [Em]follow my lead
[G]Come, come on now, follow my lead

[chorus]
[Bm]I’m in [Em]love with the shape of [G]you
We push and [A]pull like a magnet [Bm]do
Although my [Em]heart is falling [G]too
I’m in [A]love with your body

[chorus]

[verse 3]
[Bm]One week in we let the [Em]story begin
We’re going [G]out on our first [A]date
But you and [Bm]me are thrifty so go [Em]all you can eat
Fill up your [G]bag and I fill up a [A]plate

[Closing]
We talk for [Bm]hours and hours about the [Em]sweet and the sour
And how your [G]family is doin’ o[A]kay
And leave and [Bm]get in a taxi, we [Em]kiss in the backseat
Tell the [G]driver make the radio [A]play, and I’m singing like

[chorus]
[Bm]Girl, you know I [Em]want your love

Come on now, [Em]follow my lead
[G]I may be crazy, [A]don’t mind me, say
