Summer breeze easin` back the curtains in my bedroom.
Ceilin` fan stirrin` up the heat of the afternoon.
I`m puttin` on my lipstick, my ruby red lipstick...
Nice an` thick, baby.
It ain`t the gettin`, it`s the wishin`;
It ain`t the catchin`, it`s the fishin`.
Anticipation got me waitin` for your sweet love, baby.
Sweet love.
Cotton sheets out there on the line, swingin` to and fro.
Clawford tub drip, drip, drip, ah, honey, nice an` slow.
I`m puttin` on my new dress,
My pretty new blue, blue dress, oh yes!
It ain`t the gettin`, it`s the wishin`;
It ain`t the catchin`, it`s the fishin`.
Anticipation got me waitin` for your sweet love, darlin`.
Sweet love.
Let`s get your whispers, honey, tangled up with mine.
Hurry on over an` just take your sweet, sweet time.
Oooh.
[Instrumental break]
(Take your time, baby.)
It ain`t the catchin`, it`s the reachin`;
It ain`t the Heaven, it`s the preachin`.
Anticipation got me waitin`.
It ain`t the gettin`, it`s the wishin`;
It ain`t the catchin`, baby, it`s the fishin`.
Anticipation got me waitin` for your sweet love, baby. (Sweet, sweet love.)
Sweet love.
Sweet love, darlin`.
Mmm, mmm, mm.
Summer breeze, straight through my cotton sheets.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, sweet.
Oh, you can leave your hat on baby.
Sweet, love. (Sweet, sweet love.)
[To fade]
