DmWish I was a stocking Cclanging to your thigh
CEverytime you'd move around DmI'd view you walking by
DmWish I was your underwear Changing around your waist
CEverytime you'd shake that thing DmI'd get a little taste
DmCloser, Ccloser, Ccloser to Dmyou
DmCloser, got to get Ccloser, Ccloser to Dmyou
DmIf I was a pair of boots CI wouldn't have to beg
CI'd be satisfied just Dmbeing around your leg
DmWhen I am dreaming iCt takes so many trips
CI'd pretend that I'm a stick to Dmdecorate your lips
GCloser, cFloser, cCloser to yDmou
GCloser, got to get cFloser, cCloser to yDmou
DmIf I am a necklace Changing down your front
CWhen you feel the time was right DmI'd notice what you want
DmWish I was a silk shirt Cdraped around your back
CRight next to your skin Dmtryin' to make contact
GCloser, cFloser, cCloser to yDmou
CGloser, cFloser, cCloser to yDmou
 Dm   C   C   Dmx2
DmIf I had my wishes, CIf I had my way
CI'd be all the same to you, Dmeach and everyday
GCloser, Fcloser, Ccloser to Dmyou
GCloser, cFloser, cCloser to yDmou
