I'm gonna take you 10 rounds like a boxer baby, show [F] you how I put down what rocks
on me, rhyme with your ass, you [Ab] win, I'm done, I'm off
[Bb] We're gonna drive these boys crazy dressing like this
I'm gonna be the reason you're not sleeping [Abm] baby, I'm gonna invade the thoughts you keep
I [Gm] can't even remember the last time I pulled this thing out
[Bb] Girl, you barely fitting into that [Eb] thing
Don't listen to her, you look good
[Dm] You're the [Ab] one I put the rock on, I said you're my diamond girl
You're the [Bb] one that we came for
Listen girl, I'mma be right [Eb] back
[Cm] You're the one I put the rock on, [Ab] you're my [Eb] diamond girl
You're the reason I got the [Bb] game for
Hum ba dee [D] ba doo ba hep hep
[Ab]
[Bb]
Now that's alright fellas, but tonight [Eb] these men deserve a good show and I for one am gonna make sure they get it
[Ab] So let's try this last number
[Eb] Steve, you take the high note
Willie, you're on the middle
Evan, you're on melody
[Ab] On my count
Said I wonder if we'll ever [G] find out how it [C] was supposed [Ab] to be, [Eb]
[Cm] baby
[N] Sounding good boys
Hey baby, Steve take over
[C]
Now fellas I'll be right back, make sure the boys don't start without me tonight
[Eb] [F] [C]
Now you know [Ab] I'm leaving in the morning
You're coming back for [Cm] me though, right?
Of course I'm coming back for you
[Ab] I'mma have my figure just right for you when you get [Cm] back
Listen, I don't want to hear anything else about that figure
It's beautiful just the way it is
[C] You love me, don't you?
Of course I love you, baby
[Cm] Hold on
[Eb]
I told those boys not to start without me
[Cm] Come on baby
[Gm]
[Ab] [Cm] [Eb]
[Ab] [Cm]
[Ab] Rest like the kiss of [Cm] morning dew
That's how we felt that [Ab] day we met
And I burnt straight [Cm] eyes on you
[Ab] Said you walked right up on my [Cm] fantasy
And [Eb] then you left there [Ab] thinking
Why did you [Cm] abandon me?
Maybe you'll see where [Ab] you're going
And I wonder if [Cm] we'll ever find out how it [Eb] was supposed [Ab] to [Cm] be, baby
[Eb]
[Ab] So I wonder if [Cm] we'll ever find out how it was supposed [Ab] to [Cm] be, baby
[Fm] Now when I think back to the days [Cm] you were mine
Oh how I wish I could [Ab] flip a switch to turn back [Cm] the hands of time
Oh [Ab] baby, you were the one that [Cm] made me real
Now [Eb] that you're gone, [Ab] tell me
What in the world am I [Cm] supposed to feel
Without you [Ab] here with me?
Maybe you'll see where you're going
And I wonder if [Cm] we'll ever find out how it was supposed [Ab] to be, [Cm] baby
[Eb] Said I [Ab] wonder if [Cm] we'll ever find out how it was supposed [F] to be, [Cm] baby
[Gm] Listen
Something [Fm] tells me I've been [Gm] ground
I've been locked by something [Fm] you shouldn't give in
Never thought you'd [Fm] leave me on my own
[Gm] But I see that it's over
[G] And I hope our day [Ab] goes on
And I wonder if [Cm] we'll ever find out how it [Eb] was supposed [Ab] to [Cm] be, baby
Now we have a fine
[Fm] I wonder if [Cm] we'll ever find out how it was supposed [Ab] to [Cm] be, baby
[Fm] And I wonder if [Cm] we'll ever find out how it was supposed [Ab] to [Cm] be, baby
Said I wonder if we'll ever find out how it was supposed [Eb] to be, [Cm] baby
[Ab] Yeah
[Cm] [Eb]
[Ab] Turn it [Cm] up
[Eb]
[Ab] [Cm] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] [Cm]
