Well he's not necessarily trying to say that he [A] minds if someone plays his tricks on [Em] Becky
And he's not necessarily trying to say Paul can't [A] produce a rap if someone plays his tricks on [Em] Becky
In certain situations, screen for [A] deviations But somehow we always get [Em] stuck in the middle
Of this and that and man he should try less [A] Every time he's rejected man he loses [C] affection
But don't we all don't we just gotta give a little [A] time Never give up [D] in the colors [E] that are making him confused
[D] [A] What a [D] terrible [E] thing for you to do [D] [Em] [A] What an [D] awful [E] thing for you to say

And other people got more than they [A] could use but they don't share

And some people got problems man [A] they got awful [Em] complications
Other people got perfect [A] situations with no provocations
