Verse 2
G 
Listen girls, this goes for you too
Because you know I've seen so many women
C 
who've had so many good men in life
Men who would stand by them
G 
through thick and thin
Men who'd go to work everyday and
Bring home their hard earned pay
Men who'd give their
woman anything
C 
That their little hearts desired
Where some women make
D 
mistakes is
When their men go out and let 'em
play they would stay
Because they felt that no other
woman wanted him but her
G 
Listen, if you think no
other woman wants him
C 
Just pitch him out in the street
Cm

G 
Some woman will have your man
Em

Before you can count one, two, three
