Verse 1: E I blew in from Texas
And you don't know who i am
Most of you could care less
And the rest don't give a damn
But you might take special notice
When you take a look at me
I'm everything you've ever been
And ever want to be
A My game is the winner take all E I live on the edges
So i'm subject to a fall B I ain't never been a loser
I ain't never gonna be A I'm like runnin' in a ringer / E You don't mess around with me
Verse 2: E I've got money in my pocket
I've got money in the bank
If i look like a poor boy
I've got much more than you think
I got a woman on my right arm
Woman on my left
When it comes to women,Lord
I just can't help myself
A I know it's not the right thing to do E But i could never change
Even if i wanted to B So if you are a lady
Anf if you always want to be A I'm a living lovin' legend / E You don't mess around with me
Verse 3: E She's got honey drippin' off her lips
So good you can taste
A walkin' aphrodisiac
Too damn good to waste
Prancin' like a thoroughbred
Out to win the race B It don't matter how good lookin'
Or how good she may be A There's just one foregone conclusion / E You don't mess around with me
