[Intro]
C#m G#m F#
[Verse 1]
Can you tell me the tC#mruth without softening its G#mpunch
And stick with me bF#aby when push comes to crunch
Can you shake your boC#mnes to a number or G#mtwo
And remember that tF#he world don't revolve about you
Can you live with a C#mman without becoming his mG#mother
Do you need a dedicF#ated full-time lover
If the answer is Ano, no, nEo, sayonara dF#ear
But if the answer is yAeah, yeah, Eyeah, come right over F#here
[Verse 2]
Do you find 30 C#mRock and Frasier G#mfunny
Are you proof against fF#ashion, can you take or leave money
Do you love cC#mashmere worn close to your G#mskin
If I knock on your F#heart will your heart let me in
Do you own your own sC#mhadow, do you make your own G#mlight
Would you like to cuddle F#down with me tonight
[Chorus]
If the answer is Ano, no, Eno, sayonara F#dear
But if the answer is yAeah, yeah, Eyeah, come right over hereF#  
[Middle 8]
F#I don't mind if you don't have a clue
F#Who played sax on Memphis Soul Stew
F#I don't care if you don't know
F#Who tried to pull sister Flo
[Verse 3]
Can you lead when you C#mneed to, yet sometimes be G#mled
Can you tell me the F#last, six books you read
Can you reach for the C#mstars while you stand in thG#me dirt
Wear a motorcycle jF#acket with a long black skirt
Meet success and failure C#mwith a peal of lauG#mghter
And live eleganF#tly ever after
Go the extra C#mmile, do it all in G#mstyle
And take a F#tumble with me for a while
[Chorus]
If the answer is Ano, no, nEo, sayonara dF#ear
But if the answer is yAeah, yeah, Eyeah, come right over F#here
If the answer is Ayeah, yeah, Eyeah, come right over F#here
N/C
If the answer is yeah, yeah, yeah
