And by the way you look i understand that you were not impressed

But i heard you let that little friend of mine

Take off your party dress
 A                 G#m    C#m

Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake
     A                     G#m      C#m 
You used to hold him right in your hand
        D                      B7sus4  B7
But he took all that he could take
  A                            G#m            C#m       
Sometimes i wish that i could stop you from talking
        A                 G#m            C#m  
When i hear those silly things that you say         
    A                   G#m              C#m 
I think somebody better put out the big light
