[C#] I'm going to sing a song called,

I'm going to sing [C#] [G#] a song called,
I'm going to sing a song called,
I don't want no wedding,
[C#] [G#] I don't want no,
[C#] I don't want no wedding,
but it's [D#] Santa Claus.
I [D] want to give you [Em] some love,
[C] I [Bm] want to give you [Am] some good,
good [C] lovin',
[G] During this time, Bob's wife [Fm] Rita remained one of the [G] I3,
always [G] traveling and recording [C] with him.
In London, I can remember we had this Exodus album,
and he was doing this song that I found that he wrote about Syndy.
Then he just met Syndy.
I said, what?
You write a song for Syndy and want me to sing it?
I'm not Syndy.
And so I was stubborn,
and I [G] don't know why I did it,
but I was just saying, I'm going to show you something,
that I can be myself.
So Marcia said, no, come with me,
oh God, Bob's going to be mad if you don't.
And I says, I am not going.
[D] Turn your [Em] lights down low
[C] [Bm] Yes, Turn Your Lights Down Low is my song.
It has been said that all of those love songs
on that particular album [A] were written at the time
when we were at the height of our relationship,
and I know he was heavily criticized for it.
And I remember him saying to me, boy, you see what happened now,
they say I get soft now because it's pure love song and thing,
and me is a soldier, you know, so I have to get militant now.
[Bm] And until there's [F#m] no love,
[Bm] there's no second [B] class citizens of any nation.
[F#m] Until the color of a man's skin
is of no more significance
to the color of his [A] eyes,
you got to [Bm] say what?
It was in 76 that Bob really became a superstar in Europe
and a household name in England.
Suddenly you go from small island girl
to being splashed all over the front page of every newspaper
that you pick up in London.
And not just that, but tied in with someone like Bob
who was a very controversial character,
and they tended to highlight, of course,
anything they thought was negative
about his character and his personality,
his habits, his wife,
his liaisons with other women, whatever.
So they painted a pretty [A] sordid picture,
is what I guess I would have to call it.
I didn't feel like I was a wife.
I felt [D] like I was Bob's background vocal,
so there are little things that I would have to remind him,
hey, Bob, be careful, watch those girls, watch those this.
Then I became the watch eye, the mother hen type,
and he would call me sometimes to get girls out of his room.
I didn't complain, because I felt I was there for the job.
And so the relationship became [G#] more like
I have a commitment [C] to this thing.
one
can bring this idea.
[G] People [C] [G] don't
[F] I think he liked to communicate best through his music,
and [G] I think that that's where lyrically, you know, you feel
