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