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 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'
Summer breeze, straight through my cotton sheets Sweet, oh, you can leave your hat on, baby Sweet love, sweet, sweet love
