Am
It's been so long out on the road
Weeks and months gone by
You lost some weight and you shed your load
Your well is running dry
   F                                Am
I got an itch you cannot scratch, cannot scratch
F                     G      Am
Feels like someone's coming back, coming back
G                 D/F#               E
Looks like we're about to have some fun, fun, fun
Yeah

Chorus:
           Am  C
So here I come
G               Am    C    D      F
And you're the one (two, three, four)
Am         C         F
Baby, I'm here, I'm back
G          Am
So Iove me do
G           Am     C     D     F
I want you, too (three, four, five)
Am         G        F           D
Baby, I'm buzzin' around your hive

The years that passed, they've not been kind
I'm thinking more and more
About the girl that I left behind
When I walked out that door
Turn around, l'm coming back, coming back
There's that itch I cannot scratch, cannot scratch
Looks like we're about to have more fun
Yeah
