Well, I met a man out in Hollywood
 
Now I ain't namin' names
 
Well, he really worked me over good
 
Just like Jesse James

Yes, he really worked me over good
 
He was a credit to his gender

Put me through some changes, Lord
 
Sort of like a Waring blender

[Intro]
| G | G | G | G |
 

[Verse 1]
G
I don't care if you never come home
C
I don't mind if you just
        G
Keep on rowin' away on a distant sea
          D                           D/F# G
'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me
 
 
[Verse 2]
    G
You cause a commotion when you come to town
    C
You give 'em a smile and they melt

       G
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine
       D                             D/F# G
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine
 
 
{ CHORUS }

La la---- la la la la la
   C      G/B         D     D/F# G
La la---- la la la la la
 
 
[Verse 3]
G
I don't care what you do at night, oh
    C
And I don't care how you get your delights
     G
I'll leave you alone, I'll just let it be
  D                            D/F# G
I don't love you and you don't love me
 
 
[Bridge]
C                G/B
I got a problem, can you relate?
Am            G
I got a woman callin' love hate
C                  G/B
We made a vow we'd always be friends
Am                              G
   How could we know that promises end?
 
 
{ CHORUS }
   C      G/B         D
La la---- la la la la la
   C      G/B         D     D/F# G
La la---- la la la la la
 
 
[Verse 4]
G
I tried to love you for years upon years
      C
You refused to take me for real
     G
It's time you saw what I want you to see
        D                            D/F# G
And I'd still love you if you'd just love me
 
 
[Bridge]
C                 G/B
  I got a problem,   can you relate?
Am                            G
   I got a woman callin' love hate
C                  G/B
We made a vow we'd always be friends
Am                                  G
   How could we know that the promises end?
