2. You say that you're young, girl, I guess that's your big excuse,

but sometimes I get so low down, I wanna shout out, what's the use ?

C E F G
you came up, you held my hand, gal, you don't know what it's all about.

my evenings, they're just the same.

Keep on lovin' someone else, now don't you try to hide,
F G
you take me for a fool, if it keeps you satisfied.
