Hmm, well, well, well, well, well
The mailman smiled as he handed me the news, tell you chil’
I nearly jumped out of my shoes, the postcard read returning home tonight
My body jumped with pure delight, I know you’re gonna need
Some tender lovin’ care, whatever you need you know I’ll be right there
(honey I won’t deny you) that’s one thing honey, that I’ll never, never do
(honey, I won’t deny you) you took care of me, I’ll take of you
(doot, doot, doo, doo, doo) now when I’m down (repeat doo, doo)
You make me feel better, and your love for me really keeps me together
Come rain or shine, night or day, whenever you call me it’ll be okay
If you wanna stop by ’cause you’re in the neighborhood
Or if you want me to make you feel real good (repeat honey I won’t deny you)
Oh, no (I won’t deny you) that’s one thing I’ll never do to you
You took care of me, I’ll take care of you (doot, doot, doo, doo, doo)
You know my body hungers for you and I know that’s right
And when I can’t get it, I get so uptight, here by my side
Is where you aught to be if you bring your lovin’ home to me
(repeat honey I won’t deny you) i, that’s one thing I’ll never do to you
I won’t, cause you took care of me and I’ll take care of you, oh, yeah, yeah
Musical interlude
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, (I won’t deny you, I won’t deny you)
Here by my side is where you aught to be, if you bring your lovin’ home to me
I (I won’t deny you, honey I won’t deny you) that’s one thing I’ll never do, no
(I won’t deny you) i, I won’t deny you, I won’t deny you, I won’t deny you,
(doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) I won’t deny you
