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

CHORUS
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
Claw-foot tub
Drip, drip, drip, ah, honey
Nice and slow
I'm puttin' on my new dress
My pretty new blue, blue dress
Oh yes

SECOND CHORUS
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 and
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 love

Sweet love, darlin'

Summer breeze...
