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
