[Verse 1]~
C            D      Em
I met her on a Friday evening

C               D    Em
Heading for the city lights

   C           D        Em
She asked me to take her all of the way

       C             D         Em
She was really in the mood that night


[Verse 2]~
C             D     Em
I drove on 'til I was tired

C                  D       Em
Asked her if she'd care to stay

C           D         Em
I booked us a room in a fancy hotel

   C               D       Em
And said we'd carry on next day

[Verse 3]~
  C      D            Em
We hadn't spoken but a word or so

     C        D         Em
She began to unbutton my shirt

C          D                 Em
I lifted her blouse,.. there was nothing underneath

      C               D        Em
Then I slid my hands inside her skirt


[Verse 4]~
    C      D            Em
Everything about her was golden

       C          D      Em
She was hot as the rising sun

       C          D         Em
She was real as it comes and nothing more real

        C           D           Em
Than the two of us together made one


[Chorus]~
C          D             Em
Never take sweets from a stranger

C             D              Em
She may wanna take you for a ride

C          D             Em   C   D   Em
Never take sweets from a stranger

[Verse 5]~
   C         D           Em
She lay in my arms in the morning

        C             D         Em
Said she had to make a telephone call

C              D            Em
I said,.. "Make it here while I step in the shower"

       C                  D      Em
But she said she'd make it in the hall


[Verse 6]~
C            D          Em
I dozed in the soft light shadows

C                  D      Em
Turned to find she wasn't there

C         D             Em
I phoned on down to the reception desk

       C             D      Em
For the girl with the golden hair

[Verse 7]~
C            D                Em
I pulled on my clothes and went down to the hall

      C              D         Em
Looked all around and who knows where

    C         D      Em
They said they hadn't seen her at all

        C              D      Em
Then the other guests began to stare


[Verse 8]~
    C             D       Em
They showed me the morning paper

      C                 D     Em
On the front page of the Daily Sun

     C              D             Em
Was a picture of the girl with the golden hair

              C           D       Em
She'd been the victim of a hit and run


[Chorus]~
C          D             Em
Never take sweets from a stranger

C             D              Em
She may wanna take you for a ride

C          D             Em   C   D   Em
Never take sweets from a stranger
