Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

                       Cm          D# A#
Just wanna be with my love tonight

D#
Don't want no jive artists calling me on the
 G#
telephone
D#                 A#
Don't wanna watch Carson show all alone
D#                     G#
I just wanna lay back, take my rest
D#                 A#
While love's head resting on my chest

Chorus

And I don't want my best friends even coming round
'Cause if they do I might put 'em down
Carson's over and the light's way down low
And all I got, I got a heart full of soul

Chorus:
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Just wanna be with my love tonight

                      Cm           D#
Just wanna be with my love tonight
           A#                 G#
And it's a lover's prayer, oh yes it is

And when it gets way on in the midnight hour
I just wanna play my guitar
I just wanna see you smile, touch your face
Be with you in my own place

Chorus:
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Just wanna be with my love tonight

Just wanna be with my love tonight
Just wanna be with my love tonight
