GI can tell because it's plain to see
GI can tell the way you look at me
FThe way you know you hold my hand
GYes, pretty baby I can unFderstandG  
[Chorus]
I can telGl, I can teFll
CI know you don't love me no more
GNo more, no more
FNo more, Gno more
I can tGell, I can telFl
GI know you don't love me no more
[Verse 2]
GI asked your Mama and your Papa, too
