Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D
She saw me walking down the streets of your fine city
Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D
It kind of turned me on when she looked at me and said "Come here"
Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D
Now I don't usually talk to strangers but she looked so pretty
Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D
What can I lose if I just give a little ear?
Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D
What's up little girl? I ain't got time to play
Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D
Baby didn't say too much she said, "Are you gay?"
Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D
Kinda took me by surprise I didn't know what to do
Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D
I just looked her in her eyes and I said, "No, are you?"
Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D
Said to myself, said "She's just a crazy, crazy, crazy little mixed up dame
Asus4 Am/G F Am/E Am/D
She's just a victim of society and all it's games"
