Verse 1
Abmaj7          Dbmaj7        N.C.
	Come          closer

Abmaj7             Dbmaj7   			   NC
      Feel             what you�ve been dyin for

Gb(addG#)                   Fm              Bbm                Bb*7   NC
            Don�t      be afraid, baby.     Touch it    and explode.

(Same pattern is followed for verse 2�)
Understand, understand that I love you
Ah, but more than that, I want you
Everybody always told me good things come to those who wait
But I�ve got so much on the menu, I just can�t, I just can�t�
(until�)

Abmaj7		     Dbmaj7(sus4)    Dbmaj7
    I can�t wait baby,                 I can�t wait

    Abmaj7(addE)   Amaj7(addB)
baby,                     to wrap

Dbmaj7(addA)           Dbmaj7
my legs all around you girl

    Gb(addG)
Cuz sugar you know you�re just the kind of lover

Fm6
   I�ve been looking for

Bbm						                     
Tonight why don�t we skip all the foreplay mama

Fb*7
    and just get down here on the floor?


Chorus
Ab		Dbmaj7
    Scandalous       I�m talking about you and me

Ab		Dbmaj7
     Marvelous 	     Baby, baby, can�t you see?

Gb				     Fm
    Anything you ever dreamed of 	I�m willing to be

Bbm					  Fb*7
   Tonight is gonna be scandalous cuz tonight I�m gonna be
your fantasy

(then comes a solo-type of part (�My dearest, my dearest�)
which follows this chord pattern, slightly different than before)

Abmaj7    Dbmaj7   N.C.  Abmaj7   Dmaj7    NC
Gb(addG#)   Fm  Bbm   Bb(?)

Verse 3 (same as Verse 1 except where indicated *)
Whisper, whisper a question
With my body, I�ll scream a reply
Ebm7*
Anything�s acceptable
Just ask me and I�ll try
To hell with hesitation
     Bb(?)*
To hell with reasons why

Outro
Essentially the same as Verse 1

Note: There are various keyboard riffs he plays
throughout the song which I will transcribe at a later date.
