B                A7
I don't want to lose this good thing that I've got
      E
If I do, I would surely, surely lose a lot
             A7
'Cause your love is better than any love I know

Chorus:
            E       A7
It's like thunder, lightning
E                       A7
The way you love me is frightening
                   E            G A B D B
Think I'd better knock on wood baby

I'm not superstitious about you, I can't take no chance
You got me spinning, baby, baby, I'm in a trance
'Cause your love is better than any love I know

Chorus:
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
Think I'd better knock on wood, baby

There's no secret that woman is my loving cup
She sees to it that I get it up
Just one touch from her, you know can do so much

Chorus:
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
Think I'd better knock on wood, baby

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
