Lyrics

I don’t mind you (B)hang ing out and talk ing in your (G#)sleep. It does n’t mat ter (B)where you’ve been, as long as it was (G#)deep. You al ways knew to (B)wear it well and you look so fan cy. (G#)I can tell. I don’t mind you (B)hang ing out and talk ing in your (A)sleep. I don’t mind you (B)com ing here, and wast ing all my (G#)time. ’Cause when you’re stand ing (B)oh, so near, I kind of lose my (G#)mind. It’s not the per fume (B)that you wear; and it’s not the rib bons (G#)in your hair. I don’t mind you (B)com ing here and wast ing all my (A)time. I guess (A)you’re just what I (C#m)need ed. I need (A)ed some one to (C#m)feed. I guess (A)you’re just what I (C#m)need ed. I need (A)ed some one to (C#m)bleed. (C#m)ed. (A)You’re just what I need (C#m)ed. (A)You’re just what I need
