My baby don't mess around because she loves me so, and this I know for sure
G             C                                            D       E
But does she really wanna, but can't stand to see me walk out the door
G             C                                                     D        E
Don't try to fight the feeling, cause the thought alone is killing me right now
G              C                                               D          E
Thank god for mom and dad for sticking two together, cause we don't know how

         D         E
there's nothing at all
G                C                                                               D          E
We get together, oh we get together, but separate's always better, when there's feelings involved
G                    C                                                           D
If what they say is nothing is forever, then what makes, then what makes, then what makes
       E
Then what makes, what makes love the exception
G                    C                                                 D
