[Bb]WHAT YOU SAY TO DRIVE THAT GIRL AWAY, WHEN SHE'S THE ONE AND ONLY?
[Bb]WHO'S THE ONE THAT YOU BEEN LEANIN' ON,
[Bb]EV'RY TIME THAT YOU WERE DOWN AND LONELY?
[Bb]HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU SAY TO YOURSELF THAT WOMAN IS THE DEVIL'S TOOL?
[Bb]SOMEHOW YOU KNEW THAT YOU BLEW IT AGAIN,
[Bb]AND DIDN'T WANNA LOOK LIKE A RAVIN FOOL,
[D]BUT WHEN YOU NEED AFFECTION, [Bb]YOU GO TO HER WITH A SMILIN' FACE,
[D]BUT NOW SHE'S GOT A STRANGE REACTION.
[Eb]FOR LADIES O[Bb]NLY, [Db]TIRED OF TALKIN' 'TILL [Ab]SOMEBODY HEARS,
[Eb]FOR LADIES [Bb]ONLY, [Db]HALF THE WORLD HAS BEEN[Ab] BUILT UPON THEIR [F]TEARS.
