[Intro]
Sugar, sugar
Ooh
[Verse 1]
She sits alone waitin' for suggestions
He's so nervous, avoidin' all the questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently poundin'
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinkin'?
[Chorus]
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so (Tell me so, baby)
[Verse 2]
He's actin' shy, lookin' for an answer
Come on, honey, let's spend the night together
Now, hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high-rise apartment
At last, he can tell exactly what his heart meant
[Chorus]
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, honey, tell me so
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, sugar, let me know, ow
[Bridge]
His heart's beating like a drum
'Cause, at last, he's got this girl home
Relax, baby, now, we are all alone, ow
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside, it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other, neither one's complaining
He says, "I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee
Never mind, sugar, we can watch the early movie"
[Chorus]
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really, really, really, really need me
Just let me know
Just reach out and touch me
If you really want me
Just reach out and touch me
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you, if you, if you really need me
Just come on and tell me so

This was a story of a guy meeting a chick in a club. At that time, that was a cool saying. If you listen to the lyrics, “She sits alone, waiting for suggestions, he’s so nervous…” it’s the feelings of what was going on in a dance club. The guy sees a chick he digs, s...

The moment I cashed my first royalty check and it did not bounce!! That was “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy”, which by the way, was a spoof on guys from the “cocaine lounge lizards” of the “Saturday Night Fever” days. We Rock & Roll guys thought we where dea...
