Back Door Love

I've waited all night jumped all the red lights

F g

Dodged all the turnpikes took all the wrong rights

See am

I pulled up outside made the cat run down the street

F

Washing line hung with sheets

G

The night was dark and sweet oh oh oh oh

See am f

It's just a back door love, it's just a back door love

See g f g see f g see

Back door loving let nobody shut it out no-one shut it out

Verse

Hey when you touch me baby my treble sounds a little louder

My bass booms a lot brighter my rhythm rocks a little tighter

Oh and I may be wrong to keep the back door love this way

The only reason I'm hanging on

To keep the front door folks away oh oh oh oh

She give me back door love she give me back door love

Back door loving let nobody shut it out

See

I'm going to knock knock on her back door

F g see am

Oh and I don't even know if it's right oh yeah

F g f g

But I just feel real nice when you say you'll hold me tight

See am f

Oh yeah la la la la la la ...... hey hey yeah

See g f g

Oh oh oh oh yeah

Bm g

She give me back door love got to give me back door love hey hey yeah
