And yo, If you would've seen what I seen on that pole

It was a feelin I can't explain
                      F
And it felt like harmony
                  Em
Singin in my face like

F

G                                         F
Thinkin with the wrong head got me jumpin out there
With no glove
G                C                   F
It feels so good had me sprung out all messed up
Now I'm stuck

G                               Am   F
That's what I get for fallin in love

Am        F
So thick, so raw
G                                   F
That oil all over her body stole my heart
I'm caught,
C                          Em                    F
