[Verse 1]
Guitar 1 w/Rhythm Fig.1a**8 times
Guitar 2 w/Rhythm fig.1b**8 times
 
We were walking / Just the other day
It was so hot outside / You could fry an egg
 
Remember we were talking / I watched as sweat ran down your face
Reached up and caught it at your chin / Licked my fingertip

[Chorus]
Guitar 1 w/Rhythm fig.2
 
Wasting time / Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun / Little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong / Makes us want to stay, stay, stay, stay / Stay for awhile
 
[Verse 2]
Guitar 1 w/Rhythm fig 1a
Guitar 2 w/Rhythm fig 1b
 
Later on the sun began to fade / Then the clouds rolled over our heads
And it began to rain / Oh we were dancing mouth open
Splashing tongue taste / For a moment this good time would never end
You and me / You and me
 
[Chorus} Guitar 1 w/Rhythm fig 2
 
Just wasting time / I was kissing you / You were kissing me love
From a good day into a moonlight
Now a night so fine / Makes me wanna stay, stay, stay, stay / Stay for awhile
