[E] Ever did that before?
[B] Don't do it neither.
He was wrong.
[A] [E]
He said, wait till you hear the chorus.
So he played me the chorus and it went like this.
I don't like spiders and snakes, [Bb] and they [B] ain't what it [A] takes to love me.
[E] Come on, love me.
Sounded a little like a Beatles song.
Very sort of like a blues song.
Come on, love me.
Like that.
And I fooled with that song for about two or three months.
Finally got it like I thought I wanted it, and it turned out like this.

I remember I married a new woman.
Said she wanted to walk me home to [A] school.
Well, I said, [Am] yes [E] I do.
She said, I don't have no ride home, and I'm kind of like to be a [A] lonesome dude.
I said, [E] me?
[B] Asked her if we could go around that damn lot of [A] swimming holes.
She said, you watch [E] ball games.
[D] [B] Got Sissy and a good frog in the water all [A] along.
I never said this [E] frog to you.
Oh yeah.
I don't like spiders and snakes, and they ain't what it [A] takes to love me.
[E] I don't like spiders and snakes, and they ain't what it [A] takes to [N] love me.
Like I [G] want to be [E] loved by you.
[A]
[E] Somebody's got really excellent harmony.
Where's my microphone?
Where's my microphone?
Where's the sound guy?
Come up here and sing it with me one more time.
I think of that gal from the pre-school time.
I'm picking up her.
I think of that gal from time to time, and I call her up when I've got a dime.
[A] I say, hello baby.
She said, ain't you [E] cool?
Yeah.
Remember the quiz?
Would you like to get together [A] again?
She said, I'll see you.
[E] I have to go.
And the girls.
[B] I thought she got this joke for a while.
Most of my love was sex [A] and smiles.
She said, [E] I don't know about that.
[D] [B] And she said, I [A] never did.
[Bm] Let me make it perfectly [E] clear.
I don't like spouting sex.
[Em] And that ain't what it takes [A] to love me.
[E] I don't like spouting sex.
And that ain't what it takes to love [B] me.
Like I want to be [E] loved by you.
[G] [A] It's true.
I want to be loved [E] by [N] you.
