Lyrics:

Summer breeze easin' back the curtains in my bedroom
Ceiling fan stirrin' up the heat of the afternoon
I'm puttin' on my lipstick, my ruby red lipstick
Nice and 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
Claw-foot tub, drip, drip, drip, honey, nice and 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 and just
Take your sweet, sweet time
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 love
