Written by Oscar Brand

1. I wCalked down the street like a Ggood girl should,
    Dmhe followed me down the stG7reet like I kneCw he would.
    Because a guy is a guy wDmherever he may beG,
    so liDmsten and I'll teGll you what this feClla dGid to mCe.
2. I wCalked to my house like a good Ggirl should,
    Dmhe followed me to my houG7se like I kneCw he would.
    Because a guy is a guy wDmherever he may Gbe,
    so liDmsten while I tGell you what this Cfella Gdid to Cme.
    I Fnever saw the Cboy before, so Dmnothin' coGuld be Csillier,C7  
   at cFloser range his fCace was strange, but his mDanner was faGmiliar.
3. So CI walked up the stairs like a Ggood girl should,
    Dmhe followed me up the staG7irs like I knCew he would.
    because a guy is a guy Dmwherever he may Gbe,
    so liDmsten and I'll tGell you what this fCella dGid to mCe.
4. I sCtepped to my door like a Ggood girl should,
    Dmhe stopped at my doG7or like I knCew he would.
    Because a guy is a guy Dmwherever he may Gbe,
    so liDmsten while I tGell you what this fCella dGid to mCe.
    He aFsked me for a Cgood-night kiss, I Dmsaid, "It's stGill gCood dC7ay."
    I Fwould have told Chim more except his Dlips got in the Gway.
5. So CI talked to my Ma like a Ggood girl should,
    Dmand Ma talked to Pa G7like I knCew she would.
    And they all agreed on a Dmmarried life for Gme,
    the gDmuy is my gGuy whereveGr he Cmay Gbe.C

6. So CI walked down the aisle like a Ggood girl should,
    Dmhe followed me down the aiG7sle like I knCew he would.
    Because a guy is a guy Dmwherever he may Gbe,
   and Dmnow you've heard the sGtory of what sComeone dGid to mCe.
(end wedding march played)
    And Cthat's what he Gdid to mCe.G  C
