[F]
[Cm]
[F]
[Bb]
[F]
[Bb]
[F] Pardon me.
Could I have a word with you a few [Bb] minutes?
Sit down, get comfortable.
[F]
[Bb] How long have we known each other?
About ten months.
Yeah, I'm thinking, yeah.
[F]
[Bb]
You and John are real tight, aren't you?
Yeah.
[F]
Oh, is that an engagement ring?
[Bb]
Ohh, congratulations.
Oh, he slipped it on your finger last night.
[F] He's the luckiest man in the world, you know?
You should [Bb] be real proud to have someone like you.
Oh yeah, [F] what I wanted to talk to you about is,
[Bb] there's something that's been bugging me
for about five months.
[F] I've been carrying it around with me.
It's getting heavier and heavier [Bb] every day.
And you know, it's almost to the [F] boiling point.
I have to get it off my chest.
[Bb] I'm not trying to be fresh or anything
because I know you're a John's girl,
but I just [F] have to tell you this.
You see, I have a great deal of respect for you.
I'm not going [Bb] to let a feel on you.
[Gm] [Bb] But then, [F]
you see,
[Bb] I'm going to take you back to my childhood in a way.
See, we had quite a big [F] family.
We weren't very rich.
Sometimes we lived from day to day.
[Bb] But one thing we did do, we went to church every Sunday.
You know, mama took us to church.
[F] And I was in the choir too.
Yeah, I sang a little bit then.
Sunday school.
[Bb] And she taught us the golden rule, 10 commandments.
[F] And she said,
son, do [Bb] unto others as you would have them to do unto you.
She said, don't steal, [F] don't rob.
You know, all the things that good parents
try to instill in their children.
[Bb] And, well, you know, I did a few little things
like shoot hook.
I guess the every [F] key to shoot hook, you know, wasn't.
[Bb] And she said, stay out of trouble.
You know, when I was a teenager,
I didn't [Dm] break in or [F] burglarize or rob anybody.
You know, I tried to work for what I got, you know.
Tried to [Bb] be honest.
You know, didn't commit no crimes or nothing.
[F] But you know, I had to wait until I reached manhood.
To commit a crime.
[Bb] According to the court of love, if there is such a court.
But you know, [F] sometimes you are forced
into things like this.
[Bb] See, sometimes Cupid can shoot his arrow so fast
you can't get [F] out of the way, you know.
And you can fall.
And the more you, [Bb] something just like Ben and Quicksand too,
the more you wiggle, the deeper you sink.
[F] I don't want to take up too much of your time.
You see, I'm not [Bb] very good with words
and I had to tell you all of that.
You know, to really say what I [F] got to say.
See, it's a lot of talk going around town.
[Bb] And I'm on the make for John's girl.
You know, Ike is on the make for John's girl.
[F] But you know, I don't mean to do anybody wrong
because I don't want nobody to bother
anything that belong to me.
[Bb]
But you see, I've never seen anybody like [F] you.
I've never known anybody like you.
[Bb] And there's some things you just can't help.
You know, at night I toss and turn.
I try to [F] keep it out of my mind.
But you see, I find myself thinking about you.
[Bb] I just can't help it.
And right now.
