Biography:
Was (Not Was) is an eccentric pop group founded by David Weiss (a.k.a. David Was) and Don Fagenson (a.k.a. Don Was). (Don Was is also a famous producer, who has worked with The B-52's, The Rolling Stones and many other artists.)
Weiss and Fagenson were childhood friends who grew up together in suburban Detroit, US. Due largely to Fagenson's poverty, they decided to form Was (Not Was) in 1979. The name of the band was derived from Fagenson's son, who enjoyed contradicting words such as 'Blue' with 'Not Blue'.

[Verse 1]
Dm C
She ran him over like a bus
Dm
But he seemed to feel no pain
C
Just laid there smiling
Dm
Like a flower in the rain
C
She shrunk his ego down so small
Dm
That he didn't even know his name
Dm C
She knew no other way to love
Dm
That's how she played the game
[Chorus]
Bb C
But when he got her in a darkened room
Bb C
In the still of the afternoon
Gm Am7
He became her entire world
Bb C Csus4
And she cried like a little girl
F C
The line between pleasure and pain
Gm
Can't be measured by means of the brain
F C
Mere reason alone can never explain
Dm
How the heart behaves
[Verse 2]
Dm C
She wrapped her claws around him
Dm
Like a crab around a rock
Dm C
It was baby this and baby that
Dm
She never let him talk
Dm C
He couldn't see his shadow
Dm
She was always in the light
Dm C
And if he moved she arched her back
Dm
And dug her claws in tight
[Chorus]
Bb C
But when he got her in a darkened room
Bb C
In the still of the afternoon
Gm Am7
He became her entire world
Bb C Csus4
And she cried like a little girl
F C
The line between pleasure and pain
Gm
Can't be measured by means of the brain
F C
Mere reason alone can never explain
Dm
How the heart behaves
[Verse 3]
Dm C
And they said that he'd break
Dm C Csus4
How much more could he take
Gm Am7
And just when you thought that he'd kill her
Bb C
She gave him a kiss, it never missed
Dm C
And then one day she ran away
Dm
With a guy she hardly knew
Dm C
She left a note that said
Dm
I'm bored with me and you
Bb C
He found another girl himself
Bb C
A high-heeled hurricane
Gm Am7
There was no calm inside her eyes
Bb C Csus4
Just a promise of more of the same
[Chorus]
Bb C
