[Em] [D] [G] [A] [G]
[A] [D] [F#m] [B]
[D] [Em] [A] You know, people always ask me, they say, Bobby, why do you always [F#m] talk before you sing?
You know, [B] like I notice in most of your songs, you always have [D] something to say.
[Em] People [F#m] talk usually, I think that you should have something to say or you shouldn't talk just to be [B] talkable.
I feel [Em] that anytime I got something to say, I'm going to say it [A] [F#m] because maybe it might help you on your merry way.
Like I'm an [A] entertainer, I'm in [B] show business.
I like to speak [A] for all people that are in show business.
A lot of people love to say it.
They look at us different, but there's no difference.
[D] We need the same thing that [B] you need.
It's [A] simple, like, let's say if you were away from home, you know what I mean?
[D] And you make [B] home, or you try, or you make an [D] attempt to make home [Em] [A]
where it was, you know what I [D] mean?
Or where it is.
[B]
So like [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] She was, seemed like she had a [A] whole lot of time on her hands.
I didn't know.
So after the show, [D] I was a little lone in.
I didn't want to go back to the hotel by myself.
[B] And I had been feeling her vibe all through the [Em] whole night.
So I said, [A] hey baby, what are you doing?
After the show.
She said, [D] oh, I ain't doing nothing.
I said, well dig, I'm at the Holiday Inn in [B] room 234, why don't you stop by and have a drink?
She said, [A] oh, you don't want 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 [F#m] said to [B] entertainers, and it makes them feel so bad.
You know what I mean?
Because [Em] like, I've always been [A] 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.
I'm waiting on an [G] opportunity, if that was the case.
[A] You know what I mean?
So what people got [F#m] to learn to start doing is [B] don't be jabbing yourself.
You can't fool [A] yourself.
You know what I mean?
I'm just going, if I want water, I'm going to ask for [A] water.
I'm thirsty.
[D] You know what I mean?
[B] But the whole thing in all of this is just that, [Em] 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 in the [B] contract, agency, and shit like [Em] that, you know.
[A] And it's all about money, [D] behind the scenes.
But [B] 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, [F#m] like, hey, [D] keep a man.
It's cool to have a man from nine to [F#m] five.
Ain't nothing [B] wrong with that.
When I say, [Em] don't get hung up on me, [A] because tomorrow I might be [D] gone on down the [F#m] road.
[B]
[Em] [A] It's cool if you can handle it.
[D] If [B] you got a good man, remember one thing.
Oh, [Em] he'll be there [A] when
[F#m] the sun goes down.
[B]
[Em] And I'll be somewhere [A] running down that same old lane [F#m] in another town.
[B]
[Em] I thought I'd let [F#m] you know [Em] where I'm coming [Bm] from.
[Em] 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] [Em] So why chase me up and [D] down the road?
[A] And then your man, [F#m] you know that you should be with him.
[D] [F#m] [D] [Em] Oh, [F#m] I can't help, [G] we can't help but be feeling [F#m] sad, baby.
[Em] Want to let [A] it out, but [Em] we all hung up on pride.
[F#m] [Em] Oh, [F#m] pride can't fulfill [Em] the need inside.
[F#m] [Em] Come and get it, [F#m] and go on home, [G] but leave it outside.
[B] Oh, [Em] he'll be there.
[A] [F#m] I'm just telling you like it is.
When the sun goes [B] down, you [Em] ain't always be sweet 16.
[A] So while you still can, a little wait.
[F#m] Find you somebody that's going to really mean you some [B] good.
[Em] [A] Mmm, mmm, [F#m] mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
[B]
Listen to me.
[G] But don't get me wrong, [A]
I fall [F#m] in love like any other [B] man do.
[Em] But I got to [A] keep moving from place to place, and [F#m] ever hard.
I might just want to [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
[B] [F#m] [Bm] [B] [Em]
[A] [D] [F#m] [B]
