1. Well, some people ain’t no damn good,
A
you
can't trust 'em, you can't love ’em,
G
no
good deed goes unpunished.
A G
And I don’t mind being their whippin’ boy,
A G
I’ve had that pleasure for
years and years.
A G
2. No, no, I never was a sinner, tell me what else can I do ?
A G
Second best is what you get
till you learn to bend the rules.
A G
And time respects no person, and what you
lift up must fall,
A G
they’re
waiting outside to claim my crumbling walls.
E
Saw my picture in the paper,
read the news around my face,
E
now
some people don’t want to treat me the same.

A G
I’m uneducated, my opinion
means nothing.

But I know, I’m a
real good dancer,

don’t need to look over my shoulder to see what
I’m after.

I’m the same old trouble

Don’t confuse the problem with
the issue, girl, it’s perfectly clear,
A G
just
a human desire to have you come near.

Want to put my arms around you, feel your
breath in my ear,
E
you
can bend me, you can break me, but you better stand clear !
