[Cm]
Why be sweet, why be careful, why be kind?
[F] A man has only [G] one thing on his [F] mind.
[D] [G#] Why ask politely, why go lightly, why say [Dm] [C#] please?
[Cm] They only want to get you on your knees.
[G] There's a few things that I never could believe.
A [Cm] woman when she weeps, a merchant when he [Bm] [F] swears,
a thief who says he'll [Fm] pay a lawyer [D] when he cares,
[Cm] a snake when he's sleeping, a drunkard when he [D] prays.
I [F] don't believe you can go [G] to heaven when you're good.
And everything [G#] goes to hell [G] [Cm] anyway.
Lousy fare, me a moor said I'll be.
[B]
Shall I return to shore, swim back out to [F] sea?
[G#] The world don't care what a sailor does in the [D] town.
[Cm] It's hanging in the windows by the town.
[G] I don't believe you [F] go to [D#] heaven when you're [Fm] good.
[G] Everything goes to hell [C#m] anyway.
I only want to hear you purr and hear you moan.
[G#m] You have another [F#] man who brings the money home.
[G#]
[A] I don't want dishes in the sink.
[D]
[C#m] Don't ask me what I feel or what I think.
[F#] There's a [D#m] few things that I [G#] never could believe.
Oh, a woman when she [F#] weeps, [C#m] a merchant when he [F#m] swears,
a thief says he'll pay a lawyer [G#] when he cares,
[C#m] a snake when he's sleeping, a drunkard when he prays.
I don't [D#m] believe you go [F] to heaven when [G#] you're good.
Everything goes to hell [C#]
[G#] [C#m] anyway.
