Am  D    

Lady, you keep asking why he likes you. How come?

Wonder why he wants more if he's just had some.



Em             Em       D                      Am  D 

Boys she’s got more to play with in the way of toys



Am  D                    

Lady's eyes go off and on with a finger full of glue,

Am  D

Lips are drawn upon her face in come-to-me tattoo.



Em            Em         D              Am  D

Creamy suntan color that fades when she bathes



Am D

Paper dresses catch on fire and you lose her in the haze.


 

F          G            G                   Am D

Don’t ever change lady, he likes you that way 



Am D

Because he just had his hair done and he wants to use your wig,

He's going off the drug thing cause his veins are getting big,



Em                 Em  D                        Am D

He wants to sell his paintings but the market is slow.


Am D

They're only paying him two grams now for a one-man abstract show



F          G              G         

Don’t ever change people, even if you can



Am D     

You are your own best toy to play with; remote control hands.

Made for each other, made in Japan.



Em            Em       D            Am  Dm 

Woman with a greasy heart, automatic man.


Am D                                                   

Don't ever change people, your face will hit the fan.



F          G              G

Don’t ever change people, even if you can


Em           Em                D                             

Don't change before the empire falls. 

                      Am D

You laugh so hard you crack the walls.
