[Verse]
C
You got to know where you stand
Dm
If you are going to try to make a move
F G C (pause)
She is standing alone with her girls and I don't think she minds
C
You better not give a damn
Dm
If you are going to be one of those dudes
F
I've seen a thousand come round and she
G C
just shoots them all down the cold shoulder
[Chorus]
F G
So if you want my advice don't let it go to your head
C Am
She's the kind of a girl who wants a girl in her bed
F G
You can give her your heart, she wants your sister's instead
C (pause)
Better forget about Joni
[Verse]
C
Her black hair shines in the night
Dm
An infectious smile and she loves to tease
F G C (pause)
All the athletes and actors have called but she's never responded
C
She's got those jeans on so tight
Dm
She's half Egyptian and half Japanese
F G
Each time she batting an eye congressmen senators cry
C
Oh mama help me
[Chorus]
F G
So if you want my advise don't let it go to your head
C Am
She's the kind of a girl who wants a girl in her bed
F G
You can give her your heart, she wants your sister's instead
C
Better forget about Joni

[Verse]
C
You're gonna know where you were
Dm
The very moment that you caught these blues
F G C
And you'll lie awake all through your nights wondering what she's doing
C
Just look at me if your unsure
Dm
I've walked a thousand miles in your shoes
F C
I've spent the rest of my life back at this bar every night trying to love her
[Chorus]

You can give her your heart, she wants your sister's instead

So if you want my advice

Don't let it go to your head

She's the kind of a girl who wants a girl in her bed
F G (pause)
You can give her your heart, she wants your sister's instead
