Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse)
Am G
I woke up this morning, stomach grumbling loud,
F Em
Aching for a bite, lost in the crowd.
Am G
Craving something sweet, longing for a taste,
F Em
I’m a hungry man, no time to waste.

(Chorus)
C G
Got a bellyful of blues, and a thirst for you,
F Em
Feed me your love, make it something true.
C G
We can spice it up, or keep it cool,
F Em
Baby, you’re my favorite culinary school.

(Verse)
Am G
Your love is like a feast, it fills me up inside,
F Em
Keeps my heart beating, it’s a wild ride.
Am G
Let’s devour the night, until the break of day,
F Em
With you, I’ve found the perfect buffet.

(Chorus)
C G
Got a bellyful of blues, and a wine so fine,
F Em
Pour out your heart, let your flavors shine.
C G
We can stir it slow, or make it fast,
F Em
Baby, your love is a meal that will last.
