Intro 1
(G major) (A major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major)
Verse 1
How (G major)
come you called a taxi?
(C major) Where you going?
(D major) Why, you just went to see
your (G major) mama last week.
How come you stand there staring at me
(C major) an d not speaking?
(A major) What's all your suitcases doin' sit
(D major) tin' out in the street? (G major)
You're mad, ain't you?
(C major) Because it's four o in the
morn (D major) in'?
Darlin', I told you I'd
be work (G major) in' a little late.
Well, I bet you think I ain't
(C major) even been to the office,
don't you?
(A major) You think I've been out
somewhere on the (D major) day?
Why, (G major) surely not.
Don't you (C major) know I've been downtown
just work (G major) in' like a slave?
No, (A major) that ain't perfume you smell,
honey, (D major) that's my aftershave
Darling, (C major) you don't think that
I would stand (G major) here
and look you right in the eye
And tell (A major) a bald -faced (D major) lie, surely (G major) not
Surely (C major) not, ee (G major) -ee
Surely (D major) not, ee (G major) -ee
Yeah, I know my hair's messed up
and (C major) my clothes are wrinkled
There's (D major) lipstick on my collar,
but it's just (G major) a speck
You see, hon, my secretary
is bringing me
an armload (C major) of important documents
She stuck (A major) her foot in the wastebasket
and just sort (D major) of fell into my neck
I (G major) know it sounds far out
and a little (C major) fantastic
And (D major) I don't blame you
for screaming and (G major) being upset
But, honey, just look at me
and ask (C major) yourself this question
Do (A major) I look smart enough
to make up a (D major) story like that?
Why, surely not (G major)
Don't you (C major) know I've been downtown
just workin' (G major) like a slave
No, (A major) that ain't perfume you smell,
honey, (D major) that's my effigy
Darling, (C major) you don't think that
I would (G major) stand here
and look you right in the eye
And tell (A major) a bald -faced (D major) lie, surely not (G major)
Surely (C major) not Dee (G major) -dee -dee
Surely (D major) not Dee (G major) -dee -dee
Darlin', I wish you'd kind of point
that electric skillet
some other way.
Wish you'd maybe ponderin' about
frottyin' my body or somethin'.
