[Verse]
Got the beauty Dm9of a queen, my Cytherea
She made my heart a prisoner, her Black Maria
Gm9Made me forget everything I knew about love
Isn’t it funny, now isn’t it funny
[Chorus]
She good, she tells me Dm9all the things I long to hear
I get to know myself cause she knows all about her
Gm9She’s so bad cause she knows I’ve never been a sinner
Isn’t she lovely, now isn’t she lovely
[Instrumental]
Dm9 Gm9
[Chorus]
She good, she tells me Dm9all the things I long to hear
I get to know myself cause she knows all about her
Gm9She’s so bad cause she knows I’ve never been a sinner
Isn’t she lovely, now isn’t she lovely
