[B] [G] [Em]
[A] [G] [A]
[B] [D] [Em]
[A] You know, people always ask, they say, by the way, why do you always [D] talk before you sing?
You [B] know, like I notice in most of your [D#] songs, you always [D] have something to say.
[Em]
[F#m] People talk, usually I think that you should have something to say or you shouldn't talk
just to be talked.
[B] I feel [D] that anytime I got something to say, I'm going to say it.
[F#m] Because maybe it might help you on your way.
[D]
I go [A] on entertainment, I'm [B] in show business, and I like to speak for all [A] people that's
in show business.
I have people that understand.
They look at us different, but there's no difference.
We need the [D] same thing that [B] you need.
It's simple, [A] like, just say if you were waiting home, you know what I mean?
[D]
And you [F] make home, [B] or you try, or you make an [D] attempt to make home [Em]
[A] where it was, you
[D] know what I mean?
Or where it is.
[B] So like [D] [A] a few days ago, I was in Chicago, and after the show, I had [F#m] previously seen
this young lady sitting by the [B] stage, and she was, seemed like she had a whole lot of
[A] time on her hands.
I didn't know.
So after the show, [F#m] I was a little long in, and I didn't want to go back to the hotel
by [B] myself, and I had been feeling her vibe all through the [Em] whole [A] night.
So I said, hey baby, what are you doing?
After the show.
She said, oh, I ain't doing [D] nothing.
I said, well dig, I'm at the Holiday Inn [B] in room 234, why don't you stop by and have a drink?
She said, oh, you don't want to buy me no drink, you can [Em] buy me a drink right [A] here.
She said, you just want to get me up in your room.
[D] You know, and so many times, this is sad to [B] entertainers, and it makes them feel so bad.
You know what I mean?
[Em] Because like, I've always [A] been the kind of person, if that was the case, I would tell
you, yes, I want you in my [D] room.
And the only reason you would be [B] hanging around is because you would want to be there anyway,
or was waiting on [Em] an opportunity if that was the case.
[Bm] [A] You know what I mean?
So what people [F#m] got to learn to start doing is, [B] don't be jabbing yourself.
You can't fool [D] yourself.
[A] You know what I mean?
I'm just going, if I want water, I'm going to ask for water, I'm thirsty.
[F#m]
You know what I [B] mean?
But the whole thing in all of this is that, [Em] you know I'm going to be gone tomorrow.
[A] I mean, even if I wanted to stay, my job won't permit me to.
You know what I mean?
It gets real technical.
It gets down in [B] the contract, the agency, and even like [Em] that, you know.
[A] And it's all about money, [D] behind the scenes.
[B] But with me, it's all about feeling.
[A] I don't want to get you involved.
I don't want to mess up your life.
If you got something going, [F#m] like, hey, keep a man.
It's [D] cool to have a man behind the [F#m] fire.
Ain't [B] nothing wrong with that.
People like they, [Em] don't get hung up on me.
[A] Because tomorrow, [D] I might be going on down the road.
[B] [Em]
[A] It's cool if you can handle it.
[D]
[B] If you got a good man, remember one thing.
[D] Oh, [Em] he'll be there.
[A] [F#m] When your sun goes down, [B] [Em] and out your [A] sun goes running down that same old land.
[F#m] And another time, [B] [Em] I thought I'd let [A] you know [Em] where I'm coming [G] from.
I don't really [F#m] mean you no wrong, but I [Em] got to keep moving on.
Got to [A] keep moving [B] on.
[Em] And he'll be there [A] when
[F#m] your lights go dim.
[B]
[G] So why chase me when [F#m] I'm alone?
[A] And in your mind, you know that you should be [D] with him.
Oh, [Em] I [A] can't help, [G] we can't help what we feel [F#m] inside, baby.
[Em]
Want to let [F#m] it out, but [Em] we're all hung up on pride.
[F#m] [Em]
But our [F#m] pride can't fulfill [Em] the need inside.
[F#m] [Em] Come and get it [F#m] and go on home, [Em] but leave it outside.
[B] [Em]
He'll be there, [A] [Bm] I'm just [F#m] telling you like it is.
When the sun goes [B] down.
Cause you [Em] ain't always be sweet 16.
[A] So why you still carry a little [F#m] weight when you know somebody that's gonna [B] really mean you some good.
[Em]
[A] [F#m]
[B] [Em] But don't get me wrong, [A] I fall [F#m] in love, like any other [B] man do.
[Em]
[A] But I gotta keep moving from [F#m] place to place, and ever hard.
I might just wanna [B] be with you, [A] [B] [Em] I have to get [A] it where I can.
[F#m] Can't you see I'm like,
[A] [G] [A]
