Strum Briskly

I ain't asking you to commit treason

Just tell me if you like it or not

Like it or not baby that's they way I want it to be
 E
Don't give your heart and soul
 E
My love is only skin deep
 G                A
I'll give you my time and money
 G                A
I'll give you somewhere to sleep

I ain't looking for no blue-eyed lover

I want to play baby that's they way I want it to be
