Coda: (Funk): Dm7 G7 (x4) Dm7 G7 You're just a masachistic fool, Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Because you knew my love was cruel. Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 You never listened when they said; Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Don't let that girl go to your head. Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 But like a play boy you said no, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 This little girl's mind you will blow, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 But then I blew you out the box, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 When I put my stuff on key and lock, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 It makes me feel kind of sick, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 To know love put you in a trick, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 I knew our love would have to end, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 The day I made it with your friend, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Giving your love to one un-real, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Like a big fool, I know you feel, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 But in this lovey-dovey game, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 With all its joy there must be pain, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 But now the time has surely come, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 This game don't seem like so much fun, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 You're cryin' big crcodile tears, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Don't match the ones I've cried for years, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 When I was home waiting for you, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 You were out somewhere doing the do, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 You know I'd really like to stay, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 But like you did I've got to play, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 You're dumb to think I'd let you be, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Scott free, with-out some pain from me, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 I heard your song and took a chance, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 But to your music I can't dance, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Go tell your story 'sob-sad', (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 About you blowin' what you had, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Since one ain't good enough for you, (or-di-nary pain), Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Then do your-self; see how you do, (or-di-nary pain). Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Or-di-nary pain, or-di-nary pain. Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Or-di-nary pain, or-di-nary pain. Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Or-di-nary pain, or-di-nary pain. Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Or-di-nary pain, or-di-nary pain.
