[Intro]
Main Riff x3
[Verse]
[Main Riff]
I used to be good, I got nowhere. I don't understand.
Take you to a movie show, I just wanna hold your hand.
Walk you right up to your door square as can be.
You're a sweet talkin' daddy she said but you're just not for me
[Bridge]
D A
Diamond ring, don't mean a thing.
D A
Sweet talking, take you walkin'.
D A
Brang you roses, case closes.
E A
Took me quite a while to figure out what had to be done

[Verse]

Now I never treat a woman too good and change my style.
They like to stick with gamblers and drunks and cheaters and lies.
[Bridge]
D A
Diamond rings, don't mean a thing.

Sweet talking, take you walkin'.

Brang you roses, case closes.

'Till I learned to be bad.

[Main Riff]
The ladies that like hanging in juke joints are never satisfied.
Show 'em the size of your heart, they'll take you for a ride.
So Never ever treat 'em too good, you know you won't stand a chance.
Between getting beat up, slapped down there's no time for romance.
[Chorus]

I never had it so good, uh uh never had so good, uh uh never had so good, uh uh never had so good.
