Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
(2 bars for each chord)
Sugar, Sugar, mmmm
(Instrumental for sax melody)
She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous, avoiding all the questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on honey tell me so, tell me so baby
(Instrumental x2 for sax melody)
He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on honey let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on honey tell me so
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
(Instrumental x2 for sax melody)
His heart's beating like a drum
'cause at last he's got this girl home
Relax baby, now we are all alone
(Instrumental break for sax solo: 1 bar per chord, several repeats)
They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other, neither one's complaining
He says, "I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee"
Never mind sugar, we can watch the early movie
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on honey tell me so
(Instrumental sax solo x2)
(Continue this chord pattern over the rest of the lyrics until fadeout)
Sugar
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you really, really, really, really need me
Just let me know
Just reach out and touch me
If you really want me
Just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you really need me j-j-just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you, if you, if you really need me
Just come on and tell me so
Just reach out and tell me so
