The law was on her side. Am But who can stand when she's in demand. Her schemes and plans. Em 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round Am Em So take my strong advice, remember to always think twice (Do think twice) Verse 3: Em She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me Am Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine Em 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round Bridge: C Em People always told me be careful of what you do C Em Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts C Em Then she stood right by me. The smell of sweet perfume. C B7 This happened much too soon. She called me to her room.
