[F]
[Ebm]
Oh, I bet you wonder how I knew
I taught [Bb] your friends to [C] make you be
With some [Ebm] other guy you knew before
Between the two [Bb] of us, God, you know I [Ab] love you more
It took me [Cm] by surprise, I'm a [Ab] slave to love
When [Eb] I found [Ab] you, baby, don't you know [Eb] that I had to
I could have put up mine, not [Ab] much more would you be mine
Oh, [Eb] I heard [Abm] you threw the three [Eb] of us
Out [Ab] [Abm]
[Ebm] to play on, when you had a woman in mind, baby
But [Bb] the tears I kept holding tight
[Ebm] Losing you, what did my life receive?
Cause [Bb] you mean that [Ab] much to me
You [Cm] could have told me [Ab] yourself
That [Eb] you loved [Ab] someone else
Instead [Eb] I heard [Abm] you to break mine
Not [Ab] much more would you be mine
Oh, [Eb] to break mine
And [Ab] I'm just a mother, [Eb] honey, honey, [Ebm] well
When you told me you'd be mine, baby
[Abm] People say, [Ebm] baby, I am what you see
Son [Bb] of none of what you hear
But I [Ebm] can't help being confused
If [Bb] it's true, please tell me, dear
Do you [Cm] plan to let [Ab] me go
For the [Eb] other guy you [Ab] love?
Oh, you know [Eb] I heard you threw the three of us
Out [Ab] to play on, when you [Abm] had [Ab] a woman in mind, baby
[Eb] But the tears I
[Ab] kept [B]
[Ebm] holding tight
Losing you, what did my life receive?
Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you [F] loved someone else
Instead I heard you threw the three of us
Out to play on, when you had a woman in mind, baby
[A] [G]
