C 
Always  (G major) knew  (C major) I was a fool
who couldn't let well enough alone

boy, did my eyes shine
and my heart pound like a bell
Now you've got me beggin',
G 
C 
G 
C 
baby,  (G major) don't  (C major) love  (G major) and  (C major) tell
F 
For  (F major) love is something to treasure,
C 
not  (C major) something to shout about

From the  (D major) gossip I heard
this mornin',
G 
 (G major) you really dished it out
C 
My face turned  (C major) red,
I wished I was dead

F 
A  (F major) love so true and sweet
C 
 (C major) When the news hit me this mornin'
G 
It nearly  (G major) knocked me off of my feet
C 
How was I  (C major) to know
when the lights were low
F 
That lovin' could  (F major) be so swell

 (C major) Now you've got me beggin',
G 
C 
baby  (G major) don't  (C major) love and tell
