[Verse 1]
 
     G
Well Olivia's taken
       C                                 G
But a look like her's can be found from time to time
 
      C
Yeah, Olivia's taken
                                        G
But a look like her's can be found from time to time
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             D
I'm thinking something like Olivia
  C               G
Is what I need to find
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
             G
There's only one man in this world
            C                            G
Who gets to sleep with her by his side
 
              C
There's only one man in this world
                                        G
Who gets to sleep with her by his side
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             D
I'm thinking something like Olivia
  C                     G
Can keep me through the night

[Verse 3]
 
   G
Now I'm not trying to steal
C                         G
No lover away from no one man
 
      C
No I'm not trying to steal
                           G
No lover 'way from no one man
 
       D
But if Olivia herself were at my door
C                       G
I'd have to say I'd let her in

Is what I need to find
