[G] [D]
[G] [D]
[G] There's a halo of gnats around [D] my cotton-picking head
You never even listen to a single word [A] I say
[G] You sit there on your pompous ass [D] and click your fancy heels
Hauntingly another piece of art that can [A] steal
[G] Yeah, you're rich and you're good-looking and [D] outstanding
[G] And you [Bm] feel, but I'm [G] the real deal
[D] Oh, you can't know how I feel, cause I'm [G] the real, real [D] deal
Now, [G] you've been chosen to be, I'm [D] the real deal
[G] You [D]
[G] may always be rich and I [D] may always be poor
You're the kind that never gets no [A] more
[G] Hitting on my friends, [D] swinging on my door
Here's a little something that's gonna even [A] up the score
[G] Cry as you may, [D] you can't know [B] how I feel, cause [G] I'm the real deal
Oh, [D] you can't know how I feel, cause [G] I'm the real, real [D] deal
[G] Oh, you're better than those people too, yeah, I'm the [D] real deal
[G] I [D] [G] used to chop that cotton [D] sometimes, leaning on my hoe
We all know a hoe ain't just a hoe [A] anymore
You [G] educated gal's [D] supposed to be so damn smart
Sometimes you fool around and leave the horse [A] behind in the cart
[G] I got one foot in the gravy, [D] I learned on an [B] ad or two
But [G] I'm the real deal
[D] I can make you young girls sweat, cause [G] I'm the real, real [D] deal
You [G] bet you're sweet too, [D] I'm the real deal
