Verse 1

Abmaj7          Dbmaj7        N.C.

	Come          closer



Abmaj7             Dbmaj7   			   NC

      Feel             what you’ve been dyin for



Gb(addG#)                   Fm              Bbm                Bb*7   NC

            Don’t      be afraid, baby.     Touch it    and explode.



(Same pattern is followed for verse 2…)

Understand, understand that I love you

Ah, but more than that, I want you

Everybody always told me good things come to those who wait

But I’ve got so much on the menu, I just can’t, I just can’t…

(until…)



Abmaj7		     Dbmaj7(sus4)    Dbmaj7

    I can’t wait baby,                 I can’t wait



    Abmaj7(addE)   Amaj7(addB)

baby,                     to wrap



Dbmaj7(addA)           Dbmaj7

my legs all around you girl



    Gb(addG)

Cuz sugar you know you’re just the kind of lover



Fm6

   I’ve been looking for



Bbm						                     

Tonight why don’t we skip all the foreplay mama



Fb*7

    and just get down here on the floor?





Chorus

Ab		Dbmaj7

    Scandalous       I’m talking about you and me



Ab		Dbmaj7

     Marvelous 	     Baby, baby, can’t you see?



Gb				     Fm

    Anything you ever dreamed of 	I’m willing to be



Bbm					  Fb*7

   Tonight is gonna be scandalous cuz tonight I’m gonna be

your fantasy



(then comes a solo-type of part (“My dearest, my dearest”)

which follows this chord pattern, slightly different than before)



Abmaj7    Dbmaj7   N.C.  Abmaj7   Dmaj7    NC

Gb(addG#)   Fm  Bbm   Bb(?)



Verse 3 (same as Verse 1 except where indicated *)

Whisper, whisper a question

With my body, I’ll scream a reply

Ebm7*

Anything’s acceptable

Just ask me and I’ll try

To hell with hesitation

     Bb(?)*

To hell with reasons why



Outro

Essentially the same as Verse 1



Note: There are various keyboard riffs he plays

throughout the song which I will transcribe at a later date.
