Verse 1
D
I know you got ideas about movie stars

And riding in the back of their fancy cars
I know you got a dream
about a modeling job

Of getting out of town

and dumping this poor slob
But baby don't leave me here all alone

Don't go to Paris, don't go to Rome
D
Stay in town just like your sister Joyce
G
C
And don't look any further
D
than the local boys
I'm working in VJams for a decent screw
A
I'm holding down a job
D
I could provide for you
I'm looking at a house
I got a payment down
A
It's a semi -detached,
D
two up, two down
So baby don't leave me here,
please stay
