Hmm....wellwellwellwellwell



The mailman smiled as he handed me the newstell you chil'



I nearly jumped out of my shoesthe postcard read returning home tonight



My body jumped with pure delightI know you're gonna need



Some tender lovin' carewhatever you need you know I'll be right there



(honey I won't deny you) that's one thing honeythat I'll nevernever do



(honeyI won't deny you) you took care of meI'll take of you



(dootdootdoodoodoo) now when I'm down (repeat doodoo)



You make me feel betterand your love for me really keeps me together



Come rain or shinenight or daywhenever you call me it'll be okay



If you wanna stop by 'cause you're in the neighborhood



Or if you want me to make you feel real good (repeat honey I won't deny you)



Ohno (I won't deny you) that's one thing I'll never do to you



You took care of meI'll take care of you (dootdootdoodoodoo)



You know my body hungers for you and I know that's right



And when I can't get itI get so uptighthere by my side



Is where you aught to be if you bring your lovin' home to me



(repeat honey I won't deny you) ithat's one thing I'll never do to you



I won'tcause you took care of me and I'll take care of youohyeahyeah



Musical interlude



Yeahyeahyeahoh(I won't deny youI won't deny you)



Here by my side is where you aught to beif you bring your lovin' home to me

(I won't deny you) iI won't deny youI won't deny youI won't deny you



(doodoodoodoodoo) I won't deny you
