(Craig Wiseman - Tia Sillers)

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, oh.

--- Instrumental ---
(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...)
