  • Verse 1
    When 
    I first 
    met 
    Belinda 

    It 
    was 
    down 
    in 
    Corpus 
    Christi 

    Back 
    in 
    August 
    be
    lieve, 

    back in 
    '53 

    She was 
    workin' 
    as 
    a dancer 

    And 
    her life- 
    size 
    tinted 
    photo 

    Beckoned 
    tantalizingly 
    from 

    mar
    quee 

    Verse 2
    The 
    red 
    neon 
    was flashin' 

    Music 
    poured 
    out 
    on the 
    street 

    And the 
    club, 
    I'm 
    sure, 

    had seen 
    it's 
    better 
    days 

    And 
    sea 
    of blurry 
    eye

    And upturned 
    faces 
    watched 
    Belinda 

    As 
    she danced 
    within 
    the noisy, 

    smoky 
    haze 

    You 
    may 
    know 
    my body 
    Verse 3

    But 
    you can
    not 
    know 
    my 
    mind 

    She moved 
    her lips 
    but 

    didn't 
    make 
    a sound 

    You 
    may 
    know 
    my body 

    But 
    you 
    can
    not 
    know 
    my mind 

    Then 
    she'd 
    dip 
    and twirl 
    and 

    smile 
    and 
    dance 
    around 

    Verse 4

    Belinda 
    was 
    a beauty 

    She 
    re
    vealed 
    her 
    body 
    slowly 

    So 
    that all 
    the cowboys 
    strained 

    and 
    craned 
    to 
    see 

    Her se
    quined 
    skirts 
    would swirl 
    and twirl 

    And 
    catch 
    the light 
    and sparkle 

    And 
    Belinda's 
    eyes 
    would wander 

    restlessly 

    Verse 5

    Now, 
    did 
    not 
    know 
    Belinda 

    When she 
    was 
    a little 
    girl 

    But 
    as 
    a child, 

    I'm sure 
    she 
    often 
    dreamed 

    And 
    used 
    to wonder, 
    used 
    to ponder 

    Just 
    what 
    did 
    go 
    wrong 

    But 
    then 
    Belinda 
    was 
    not 

    always 
    what she 
    seemed 

    You 
    may know 
    my body 
    Verse 6

    But 
    you 
    cannot 
    know 
    my mind 

    She moved 
    her lips 
    but 
    didn't 

    make 
    a sound 

    You may 
    know 
    my body 

    But 
    you 
    can
    not 
    know 
    my 
    mind 

    Then 
    she'd 
    dip 
    and twirl 
    and smile 

    and dance 
    around 

    Verse 7

    Then 
    one 
    night 
    I wrote 
    a hasty 
    note 

    And 
    threw 
    it on 
    the stage 

    Askin' 
    her 
    if she 
    would have 

    a drink 
    with 
    me 

    And 
    we talked 
    of many 
    things 

    About 
    the sun
    shine 
    and 
    the country 

    And 
    a tear 
    came 
    to 
    her eye 
    quite 
    suddenly 

    Verse 8

    And 
    listened 
    to 
    her, 
    thought 
    about 
    her 

    Finally, 
    I asked 
    her 

    "Tell 
    me, 
    Belinda, 

    what 
    does your 
    life 
    mean?" 

    She 
    looked 
    me 
    in 
    the eye

    And 
    told 
    me "Forty 
    bucks 
    a week 

    And 
    to be 
    a damn 
    good 
    dancin' 

    Burlesque 
    queen" 

    "Ah, 
    you may 
    know 
    my body 
    Verse 9

    But 
    you 
    can
    not 
    know 
    my mind" 

    She said 
    to me 
    as she 
    prepared 
    to 
    go 

    You may 
    know 
    my body 

    But 
    you can
    not 
    know 
    my mind 

    Then 
    she laughed 
    and 
    left 
    to do 

    her second 
    show

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
