12/8 time seemed to her to be some sort of life of crime
G#m A B E
with the handcuffs and the billy clubs coming down on me
she said rock ’n roll don’t give her nothing but bad dreams

G#m A

G#m A
but now she’s standing on my front porch

and a ribbon in her hair
well she ain’t bad – lookin’ , and i’ll give her that
but she ain’t all there
and her body ain’t as sxxy as her underwear
her stomach ain’t big enough i suppose
to eat up all the mean words that she spoke
