verse 1  
Em9                         A13  
Baby's into runnin' 'round, hangin' with the crowd  
Em9                                  A13  
Puttin' your business in the street, talkin' out loud  
Em9                                           A13  
Sayin' he's bought her this and that and how much you done spent  
Em9                           A13  
I swear she must believe it's all heaven-sent  
Em9            A13  
Hey boy, you better bring the chick around  
Em9                         A13  
To the sad, sad truth, the dirty lowdown

Nothin' you can't handle, nothin' you ain't got

put your money on the table and drive it off the lot  
Em9                          A13  
Turn on that old lovelight, turn a maybe to a yes  
Em9                       A13  
Same old schoolboy game got you into this mess  
Em9           A13  
Hey son, you better get on back to town  
Em9                         A13  
Face the sad old truth, the dirty lowdown

Em9                         A13  
his dog-eat-dog business is surely gettin' old  
Em9                           A13  
Got to have a jones for this, jones for that  
Em9                               A13
