AShe saw me in a red top magazine
And my number she found cleverly
GI thought "She's DalAright"
She's so crazy ain't no topping her
I found out there ain't no stopping her
Baby say goodnight
DShe kept saying "You're incredible"
EBaby babyD  
My friends found her unacceptable
EI found E7out
That she dDon't like rules
but she dAon't mind making 'em
She dDon't like me and whateAver I Edo
She sDpent my money 
and its aAll Fifth Avenue and sEhoes and blues
and "Who's been sleeping on the jAob"
|(A)| |D| |E| |D|
I got tired when she got physical
a fat lip now I'm in medical
maybe black is white
All went wrong that ain't no miracle
You can't get nowhere I'm cynical
time to say goodnight
She's now saying "You're unbearable"
Baby baby
My friends say she's unacceptable
I found out
That she don't like rules
but she don't mind making 'em
She don't like me and whatever I do
She spent my money 
and its all Fifth Avenue and shoes and blues
and "Who's been sleeping on the job"
