I got (G7)some ond thing to say that might talk cause you to pain; If I catch to you you talk in’ to that boy a a gain, I’m gon na (C7)let you down

and leave you flat,

Be cause I’ve (D7)told you be fore:

Oh, you can’t do (G7)that.

Well, it’s the (G7)some ond time I’ve caught that you talk cause in’ to him; do I have to tell you one more time I think a a sin.

I think I’ll (C7)let you down

and leave you flat,

Be cause I’ve (D7)told you be fore:

Oh, you can’t do (G7)that.

Well, it’s the Ev ’ry bod y’s green,

’cause (Am)I’m the one who (B7)won your love.

But if they’d seen

you (Am)talk in’ that way they’d (Bm)laugh in my face.

So (G7)please lis ten to me if you wan na stay mine, I can’t help my feel ings, I’ll go out of my mind.

I’m gon na (C7)let you down

and leave you flat,

Be cause I’ve (D7)told you be fore: (C7)Oh,

you can’t do (G7)that.

Ev ’ry bod y’s green, (G7)that.
