When [Db] a bad and [Ab] loveable woman [Bbm] can't [Db] keep his mind on nothing [Gb] else, he'll [Ab] change the world
for the [Db] good things he's found.
[Ab]
If [Db] she is bad, [Ab] he can't see, [Bbm] she [Ab] can do no [Gb] wrong.
[Ab] Turn his back on his best friend [Db] if he put her down.
[Ab]
[Db] When all [Ab] he wants [Bbm] in his [Fm] bed is less than dine, [Gb] trying to [Ab] hold on [Db] to what he [Ab] needs.
[Db] He'd give up [Ab]
[Bbm] sleep [Fm] on the red [Gb] sheets if [Ab] she said that's the way [Db] it ought to be.
[Gb] Well, this man [Db]
[Gb] I gave you up [Db]
[Gb]
[Db] for her, [Ebm] but
[Fm]
[Db] [Ab]
[Bbm] don't leave [Ab] any soul [Gb] to go to.
She can [Ab] drag him, but [Db] she needs a ring.
[Ab]
If she [Db] is good, [Ab]
[Bbm] he's the [Ab] last one to know, [Gb] and [Ab] he'll [Db] never see.
[Ab]
[Db] [Ab]
[Bbm] He can do [Db] no wrong, [Gb] he can [Ab] never walk
[Db] again.

[Db] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Db] As it is, [Gb] baby, baby, [Ab] baby, [Db] no matter [Ab] where he goes.
