Verse 4
A 
G 
(Chorus)
D 
G 
The things that you say to me,
well I can't sing them here
A 
Let's just say it's worth it,
G 
D 
that phone call's not too dear
And I know you don't love me
G 
but hey I don't love you
A 
G 
I just love those things you say
D 
& what you tell me to do
G 
Cause lovin's never easy
& love can be a chore
A 
G 
And these days love is dangerous
D 
I need not say more
G 
Some folks say I'ts kinky
& some say it's obscene
A 
But thank you Alexander
G 
Graham Bell
D 
For your lovin machine
G 
(Chorus)
