Key: C major
Verse 1
C
F
Girl,
and let me do my thing
I don't wanna be tied down
G
C
to your waving string
After working in the factory,
in that airtight place
I'm cooped up at home all night
with a long sad face
When my friends ask you
if I can play a little poker
Girl, you pop out your mouth,
yeah, and I end up a joker
When you turn your back,
I try to sneak on out
And for three whole days,
yes, I had to watch you pop
Oh, you know you try
how much you really need them
and want to take all your freedom
for five long years
baby
It's gonna cost you no tears
G
C
But everybody needs a little help
Oh, I need a little help
All I'm askin' for's a little help,
oh, a little bit of help
That lady next door,
she been tellin' you wrong
You can't keep no man,
tryin' to keep him in the way
She lost one man,
and if you ever thought to think
G
C
Girl, the man she's got now,
she's drivin' him to drink
I wanna make a little noise,
like the rest of the boys
Callin' each other names,
like a son of a gun
And if you ever tag along,
you're gonna run amok
that wants to be smothered
Please try and understand me
C
F
Oh, I love you so much, girl
Can't you see?
They're calling me square
You're tying me to a chair
I need a little air
G
C
Oh, give me some air
Everybody needs a little air
So give me some air . .
