[Intro]
D C G
[Verse 1]
GI bought you some flowers, Cand you just looked at me
DI bought you some earrings, Cyou just went to Gsleep.
GI said let's go to vegas, bCut you don't gamble or drink.
DWith all this passion whirling around, Cit kinda made me tGhink.
[Chorus]
GYou don't like to fuck me, so Cwhy am I still here?
DGettin you to give me some lovin, is like Cgettin me to give up Gbeer.
GYou don't like to fuck me, so I Cguess I'll just get on home.
DI've told you once, I won't tell you again, Cbeing with you is like being Galone.
[Verse 2]
GI've read books on making love, aCnd books on the psyche of women.
DWe were wandering around in a desert of love, but we Cneeded an oasis to Gswim in.
GI packed my bags, but your attention Csimply could not be bought.
DSo I thought I'd write you this here song, and Clet you know some of my Gthoughts.
[Chorus]
GYou don't like to fuck me, so Cwhy am I still here?
DGettin you to give me some lovin, is like Cgettin me to give up Gbeer.
GYou don't like to fuck me, so I Cguess I'll just get on home.
DI've told you once, I won't tell you again, Cbeing with you is like being Galone.
[Bridge]
GEatin smores and Ckissin' whores, Amand knockin' over discount Emliquor stores.
EmI talked to a preacher, Cand I talked to a nun.
CThey said you son of a bitch, Dyou're a son of a gun!
[Chorus]
GYou don't like to fuck me, so Cwhy am I still here?
DGettin you to give me some lovin, is like Cgettin me to give up Gbeer.
GYou don't like to fuck me, so I Cguess I'll just get on home.
DI've told you once, I won't tell you again, Cbeing with you is like being Galone.
DI've told you once, I won't tell you again, Cbeing with you is like being Galone.
