Lyrics

Well, she’d (E)like you to think she was born yes ter day, with her (A)in no cent looks and her lit tle town way.

When she’s (E)smil ing at me, she’s got an gels in her eyes.

But I’ve (E)seen how she moves and this girl real ly cooks.

She (A)taught me some tricks you can’t learn in books, and I’m (E)start ing to think she’s the dev il in dis guise.

The girl gets a (E)round.

She (A)knows what she likes.

I got (A)what she (E)needs.

Just (A)wait ’ll to night.

We’ll both make our (E5)moves.

Yeah, we’ll cov er some (Asus2)ground.

The girl gets a (E)round, a round, a round, (D)a round, a round, a (A)round.

Good God, this girl gets a (E)round.

(CN.C.)Yeah, he (C)likes to pre tend he’s a man a mong men, but with his (F)hands in his pock ets he can’t count to ten.

(C)Don’t wor ry, ba by, your se cret’s safe with (G)me.

And he bores me to tears with his beers and his bikes, but I (F)keep him a round ’cause when temp ta tion strikes, (C)I got the mo tor (D7)and he’s got the key!

The girl gets a (E)round.

She (A)knows what she likes.

I’ve got (A)what she (E)needs.

Just (A)wait ’ll to night.

May be to night.

We’ll both make our (E5)moves.

Yeah, we’ll cov er some (Asus2)ground.

The girl gets a (E)round, A round, a round, a round, a round, a round.

The girl gets a (E5)round, (CN.C.)a round, a round, a (Asus)round, a round, a round.

Good God, this girl gets a (E)round!
