[G] [A] [G]
[A] [B]
[D] [Em] [A] You know, people always ask me, they say, Bobby, why do you always [F#m] talk before you sing?
[B] Like I notice in most of your songs, you always [D] have something to say.
[Em] [F#m] People that talk usually, I think that you should have something to say or you shouldn't talk just to be talking.
[B]
I feel [D] that anytime I got something to [Em] say, I'm going to say it [F#m] because maybe it might help you on your merry way.
Like I'm [A] an entertainer, I'm [B] in show business.
I like [A] to speak for all people that's in show business.
I have people that I'm going to say it.
They look at us different, but there's no difference.
We need the [D] same thing that [B]
you need.
[A] It's simple, like, just say if you were away from home, you know what I mean?
[D] And you [B] make home, or you try, or you make an [D] attempt to make home [Em] where [A]
it was, you [F#m] know what I mean?
[D] 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 backstage.
[B] And she was, seemed like she had a whole lot of [A] time on her hands.
I don't know.
So after the show, [D] I was a little lone 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 whole [Em] night.
So I said, hey baby, [A] what are you doing after the show?
She said, oh, I ain't doing [D] nothing.
I said, [F#m] well dig, I'm at the Holiday [B] Inn in room 234, why don't you stop by and have a drink?
[D] She said, oh, you don't want [A] to buy me no drink.
You can buy me a drink right here.
She said, you just want to get me up in your room.
[D] You know, and so many times, this is said 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 [D] my room.
And the only reason we would [B] be hanging around is because you would want to be there anyway, waiting [G] on an opportunity, if that was the case.
[A] You know what I mean?
So what [F#m] people got to learn to start doing is [B] don't be jabbing yourself.
You can't fool [D] yourself.
You know what I mean?
[A] I'm just going to, if I want water, I'm going to ask [A#m] for water.
I'm [F] thirsty.
[F#m] You know [B] what I mean?
But the whole thing in all of this is just [Em] that you [A] know I'm going to be gone tomorrow.
I mean, even if I wanted to stay, my job won't permit me to.
[F#m] You know what I mean?
It gets real technical.
It gets down [B] in the contracts, agencies, and shit 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.
[Em] [A] I don't want to get you involved.
I don't want to mess up your life.
If you got something going, [D] like, hey, keep a man.
It's cool to have a man for a man to [F#m] buy.
[B] Ain't nothing wrong with that.
Like, say, [Em] don't get hung up on me.
[A] Because tomorrow I might [D] be gone on down the [F#m] road.
[B]
[Em] [A] It's cool if you can handle it.
[D] [B] If you got a good man, remember one thing.
[Bm] Oh, [Em] he'll be there [A] when
[F#m] the sun goes [B] down.
[Em] And I'll be somewhere [A] running down that same road.
[F#m] And another time, [B] I [Em] thought I'd let you [A] know where [G] I'm coming from.
[Bm] [G] I don't [F#m] really mean you no wrong, [Em] but I got to keep moving on.
[A] Got to keep moving [B] on.
[Em]
And he'll be [A] there when [F#m] your lights go dim.
[B] [G] So why chase me up [A] and down the road?
And in your mind, you know that you should be with him.
[Bm] [F#m] [D] Oh, [G] I [A] can't help, we [Em] can't help what we feel [F#m] inside, [G] baby.
[F#m] Want to let it out, but we [Em] all hung up on [F#m] pride.
[Em] Oh, [F#m] pride can't fulfill [G] the need inside.
[F#m] [G] Come and get it and go [F#m] on home, but leave [G] it outside.
[B] [Em] Oh, he'll be there.
[A] [F#m] I'm just telling you like it is.
When the sun goes down, [B] you ain't [Em] always be sweet 16.
[A] So while you still can, a little [F#m] wait, find you somebody that's going to really [B] mean you some good.
[Em] [A]
[F#m] Listen [B]
[Dm] [B] to me.
[G] But don't get me [A] wrong.
I fall in [F#m] love like [B] any other man do.
[Em] [A] But I got to keep moving from place to place, and ever [F#m] harder.
I might just want to be with [B] you.
[A]
[B] [G] I have to get it [A] where I can.
[F#m] Can't you see I'm [B] like
[F#m] [Bm] [B] [Em]
[A] [B]
[D] [Em] [A] You know, people always ask me, they say, Bobby, why do you always [F#m] talk before you sing?
