verse 1
D9 D9
i heard the word , it’s goin’ all around town .
D9 D9
looks like your latest toy gone an put you down .
D9 D9
well it won’t be long , ’fore you come crawling on home .
D9 D9
like some old dog with your tail on the ground .

chorus 1
F G D9
i’m listenin’ to your beg and your plead .
F G D9
don’t fill my heart with no pity .
F G D9
what makes you think i’m gonna take you back again ,
Am Am
i ain’t your repo man .

refrain : D9 walk down

verse 2 : same as verse 1
used to be , just you and me .
so young and in love , just like it was meant to be .
well it didn’t take long , fore’ i begin to see ,
that you got eyes for every man on the street .

chorus 2; same as chorus 1

i’m listenin’ to your beg and your plead .
don’t fill my heart with no pity .
what makes you think i’m gonna take you back again ,
i ain’t your repo man .
refrain : D9 – walkdown

interlude
G9 G9
it’s like you think i got revolvin’ doors on my house ,
G9 G9
like you can just come and go as you please .
G9 G9
i’m ’bout to do what your Daddy shoulda done
A9 A9
i’m gonna lay you right across my knee .

verse
i work like a devil , every night and every day ,
bustin’ my back , just to make my pay .
now where is your woman you ask ,
’cause , as they say , while the cat’s away . . .

chorus
i’m listenin’ to your beg and your plead .
don’t fill my heart with no pity .
what makes you think i’m gonna take you back again ,
i ain’t your repo man .
