[Gbm] [Abm] [B] [A] Oh, it's so funny to be seeing [E] you after so long, girl.
And with [A] the way you look, I [Ab] understand that you were [Dbm] not impressed.
[A]
But I heard you let that [Abm] little friend [Dbm] of mine [D]
take off your party [A] dress.
[Eb] [A]
Gonna [Abm] get too [Dbm] [B] sentimental [A] like those other stick of [Abm] [B] Valentines.

You [D] used to hold him [Abm] right in your [Dbm] hand.
[D] I bet it took all he could [A] [B] take.
[A]
Sometimes I wish that [Ab] I could [Dbm] stop you from [B] talking [A] when I hear the silly things that [Abm] you say.

I think somebody [Abm] better put out the [Dbm] big light, cause [D] I can't stand to see [E] you [B] this way.
