I know I should get next to you
E         G#       A             B
You got a look that makes me think you're cool
E      G#       A       B
But it's just sexual attraction
E             G#         A           B
Not somethin' real so I'd rather keep wackin'

E   A      F#m         B
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
E          A         F#m   B

G#                  A

I've known a lot of girls before
E          G#      A          B
What's the harm in knowin' one more?
E     G#            A     B
Maybe we could even get together
E     G#                 A          B
Maybe you could break my heart next summer

E      G#               A     B
It's a cryin' shame I'm all alone
E        G#           A       B
Not with you, nor her, nor anyone
E         G#            A   B
Won't you knock me on my head
E        G#           A      B
Crack it open, let me outta here
