[Bm] [E] Hey baby, what you doing [Bm] after the show?
She said, I ain't [A] doing nothing.
I said, well check [A] this out.
I'm at the Western [B] Hotel, room 235.
Why don't you stop by and have [Em] a drink with me?
[Bm] She said, you don't want to buy me no [B] drink.
So I sang.
[E] And she said, like I noticed, before every song, you always have something to say.
[F#]
[D] I feel like people that talk, usually, [B] I think they should have something to say or [Bm] they shouldn't talk.
You know what I'm saying?
Because anytime I have something to [A] say, I'm going to say it.
[D] Because it may help you along your merry [B] way.
You feel me?
[Bm] Because I'm an entertainer.
I make show business.
And I can't speak for everybody [F#m] that's in show business, but [A] a lot of people don't understand this.
[B] You know?
[Bm] They look at me different, but there's no difference.
I need the [A] same things [D] that you need.
[B] I mean, it's simple.
Like, [Bm] let's say if you were away from home and you try to make home [F#m] where it was or [D] where it is.
You feel me?
[B] So like a few days [B] ago, I was in Chicago after [Bm] the show.
And I had previously seen this [E] young lady sitting backstage.
She seemed like [D] she had a whole lot of time on her hands.
[B] I mean, I didn't know.
[E] [Bm] After the show, I was a little [G] lonely and didn't want to go back [F#m] to the room by myself.
[D] I'd been feeling her vibe [B] the whole night.
So I said, what's [E] good, baby?
What you doing after [Bm] the show?
[Bm] She said, I ain't doing [A] nothing.
I [A] said, well, check this out.
I'm at the Western [B] Hotel, room 235.
Why don't you stop by and have [Em] a drink with me?
[Bm] She said, you don't want to buy me no drink.
[A] You can buy me a drink here.
[D] You're just trying to get me up in your room.
[B] And you know, so many times as an entertainer, [Em] I hear this, and it makes me feel [Bm] so bad.
Because I've [A] always been the type of person, [D] if that was the case, I'd say, [B] yeah, I want you to come to my room.
[E] The only reason you'd be hanging [Bm] around is because [D] you were just waiting on an opportunity, if that was the case.
You know what I'm saying?
[B] I mean, you can fool me, but you can't fool [Bm] yourself.
If I want something, I'll let you know.
[A] If I want water, I'll say, hey, I'm thirsty.
[B] Please, fix me a drink.
[Bm] You feel me?
[E] [A#] What I'm saying is this, [D] you know, I'm going to be gone tomorrow.
I mean, even if I [F#] wanted to stay, my job wouldn't allow me to.
[Bm] You see, it gets real technical down to the contract, agents and stuff like that.
[Em] See, with them, it's all about [D] money.
But with me, it's all about feelings.
[B] I don't want to get you involved.
I [B] don't want to get your [Bm] life messed up.
If you got something going on, it's cool to have [A] a man from nine to five.
Ain't nothing wrong with that.
Don't get hung up on me.
Because [B] tomorrow, it might be going down the [Bm] road.
I mean, it's cool if you can handle it.
You know what I'm saying?
[E]
[D] See, if you got a good man, remember one thing.
[B] It's right here.
[Bm] Oh, he'll [Em] be there.
[Bm] Yeah.
[F#m] When your sun goes [B] down.
And [Bm] I'll be somewhere running down that same old line.
Yeah.
[F#m] In another [B] town, another town.
Listen.
[E] I'm going to let you [F#m] know where [E] I'm coming from.
I don't really [F#m] mean you no wrong, but I got [E] to keep moving on.
[A] I got to keep moving [B] on.
[Bm]
He'll be there [E] when [F#m] your lights go dim.
[B] [Bm] So why chase me up and down the road?
In your mind, you know [A] that you should be with him.
[E] Oh, [F#m] we can't help [E] what we [F#m] feel inside.
[E] I want to let [F#m] it all out, but we're hung [E] up on pride.
[F#m] [Em] Oh, pride [F#m] can't fulfill the need [E] inside.
So come and get it, go [F#m]
home, but leave [E] it outside.
[B] Oh, [Bm]
he'll be there.
I'm just telling you [F#m] like it is.
When the sun goes [B] down.
[Em] You ain't always going to be sweet 16, so [F#m] why you carrying around a little weight?
Why is my time really not so good?
[B] Oh, listen.
[Em] Don't get me wrong, [F#m] I'm falling in love [B] like any other [F#m] man do.
But I got to keep moving [B] on from place to place.
[F#m] But in my [Em] heart, I just might want to [E] be with you.
Oh, [F#m] I have [N] to get it.
She said, I ain't [A] doing nothing.
I said, well check [A] this out.
