  C                         Fmaj7    G           C           Fmaj7  G
Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain
C                Fmaj7  G            C                       Fmaj7     G
It was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it never happens again
 C           Fmaj7   G        C                  Fmaj7  G
You and I, it had to be the standing joke of the year
 C                       Fmaj7    G              C                Fmaj7  G
You were a sleep-around,       a lost and found and not for me, I feel

I tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit, well it just wasn't me
 C                          Fmaj7          G            C              Fmaj7  G
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess so insecure you see
C                                  Fmaj7          G           C                   Fmaj7  G
I've put up with all the scenes and this is one scene that's going to be played my way
 
 
[Chorus]
 F         Am       Em  F  G  F          Am     Em        F   G
Take your hands off me,       I don't belong to you, you see

Under the deep red lights I can see the makeup sliding down
      C                       Fmaj7   G           C               Fmaj7     G
Well hey little girl you will always make up, so take off that unbecoming frown
  C                 Fmaj7       G             C                     Fmaj7  G
What about me, well, I'll find someone who's not going cheap in the sales
   C                          Fmaj7        G              C              Fmaj7     G
A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life and won't keep going off the rails
 
 
[Chorus]
 F         Am       Em  F  G  F          Am     Em        F   G

We've been involved for quite a while now and to keep you secret has been hell
         C                           Fmaj7    G          C           Fmaj7  G
