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
