[Bm] [C] [Am] Hey, this is OJT, [G] and you know I'm not much for talking, [C] but I got something I'd really
like to say this [Am] time.
[F] You know it's a good thing that a man [D] can't look on his [C] woman's
face and tell what's on [Em] her mind.
[G] Because if he could, [Em] a lot of us fellas who think
that we're so [F] hip and hung up on our ego trip, we'll [C] slide down off a cloud of ash.
[G] Y [C]'all ought to stop half-loving these women and [C] let them find, [G] find peace of mind.
[C] Y'all
ought to stop half-loving [F] these women and [C] call them in a way that they can't understand.
Because they've been through so much over time.
A lot of you men got first-class ladies,
and you only give them [G] third-class love.
First one like a fool, and [F] pretend you don't understand.
[C] When she finds someone [G] to lend you a [C] helping hand.
[Am] You know men do forget sometimes when
they're sucking at your old girl.
[G] Or they think they are, [Em] and they think they got everything
uptight.
[D] We [C] forget sometimes that loving a woman [F] is like having a driver's license.
It's
a privilege, [C] and it's not a right.
And we get to running around, chasing every skirt
in town, [Em] and leaving her all alone.
[F] We got the same thing that we're looking for [C] right
there at home.
[G] [C] A woman likes to feel that a man doesn't need her.
And she's not just
[Em] there, [G] because she knows it's real.
[C] There ain't no woman in the world, I don't see,
[F] that ever, ever, [Dm] do no wrong.
[C] She's getting [G] everything she [C] needs at home.
You [Bb] better get
on the job, and try [C] to cool them out.
A [Bb] lot of men out there would enjoy, a lot of men
you're making out.
But a [C] woman you're complaining about, [G] [C] your job, has left these women.
[Am] [C] They're getting tired, of crying, [Em] crying, crying.
[G] [C] Just one flicker from [Am] her
A [F] wig from the [Dm] hips
[C] A thousand guys just waiting, [G] for you
Make [C] a flair
[G] You [C] are not alone
like to say this [Am] time.
