[B]
[E] I was in Detroit, Michigan [B] not too long ago, visiting with some friends of mine.
[E] I checked in at the 20 Grand Motel where I always stay [B] and hang out with the brothers.
[E] As I checked in and put my bags down, I could hear this strange [B] conversation coming from next door.
And it seems like this young lady had gotten into this gentleman's room and really [E] didn't know how she got there.
Or at least that's what she was [B] trying to run down on [Gb] him.
It seems like [E] she had too many martinis.
She was trying to beg the man [B] off.
Of course, you know I was going to listen and see how it was going to come out.
[E]
I missed some of the conversation, but where I [B] came in was when she was saying to him some words, something like this.
Let me tell the story.
She said to him, she said,
If you said I said it, then I guess I said it.
[Ab] But you had me [D] under your [B] powerful love.
I walked in the club and Mr.
Let you up.
[D]
[B] You were at the bar looking like a movie star.
[D]
[E] [B] You beckoned me and I came to see you had [D] me on me.
[E] [B] And when you stood, you showed it.
[D] [E] [B] We had a drink and I couldn't leave.
[D] [E] [B] You said you'll be back in a flash.
[D] [B]
[E] Yeah,
[E] [B] women can get themselves in some strange [E] situations sometimes.
And that comes right down to the real nitty [B] gritty.
[Ebm] They want to renege on the [B] deal.
[E] Listen, because I wanted to see how it [Ab] was going to come out.
[B] [Gb] And as she was crying, [E] trying to want to wrap down to him,
[B] she kept on pleading.
[E] In some words, it's like this.
Let me tell the [B] story.
This is just how it went.
She said to him, she said, listen, you went and rented the room.
And pretty soon you had me.
[E] [B]
Then you start squeezing me and teasing me.
[D] [E]
[B] You tried your best to unzip my dress.
Yeah, [D] I was under your power.
[B] I told you no.
And let me go.
Yeah, [D] I was under your [B] power.
You said, I don't give a damn.
Please call me a cat.
[D] I'm under [E] your power.
[B] If you let me go, this will happen no more.
[D] I'm under [E] your [B] power.
I brought home to my man.
Best I can.
[D] I'm under your [E] power.
[B] She kept on saying, you got me under, under, [D] under [E] your power.
[B] She kept on saying, under.
