so what can I do ing but (Abmaj7)pack up and run?

You I know the rules; tool;

You say that I you love me,

I’m yours to com (Bb9)mand;

but your kind of lov ing my (Abmaj7)heart could n’t stand.

You used me for a tool;

And now,

now that we’re (Abm6)through,

But deep in your your heart, you (F9)know

that our love

I I tried to be lieve you,

but your kind of (Eb9)lov ing just broke my poor heart.

Now, I know the (Cm7)rules;

And now,

Mm, mm.

Yeah, you bet ter get (Db7)your self,

Mm, mm.

Yeah, you bet ter get (Db7)your self,
