[Gm] She was [Ab] the kind of [Fm] woman that would trim your toenails at [Bb] 5 o'clock [D] in the morning.
She was [Gbm] honest, [G] loyal, [Dm] sincere, dedicated, [F] understanding.
She was [Gm] everything a man could ever [Ab] want a woman [D] to be.
She was everything to me and she was my woman.
[Gb] I can remember the first [D] time we met in New York City [Gm] in Central Park.
[Fm] I was wearing a [G] pair of white sneakers [D] and a [Am] pair of white shorts [Gbm] and I [Em] had a white t [Dm]-shirt
on with the inscription in red in front of it, Earth, [D] Wind, and Fire.
_ You could not [F] tell me that I was not [Eb] good to go.
[D] _
_ [E] Oh, [D] we got married.
Two days later we got married and everything [Fm] was cool [F] for about four years.
_ [Eb] [D] That's when the other voices came into the picture.
[Gb] You know [G] what I'm talking about [Dm] when I say the other voices?
[E] Mary said that [Fm] Roy was running around with Harriet [C] and Beverly [Eb] [D] and [Am] got back to the home
[E] front [F] and me and my old lady started going through a repetition cycle of splitting [Fm] up
and coming back together and splitting up and coming back [C] together until it [D] just got ridiculous.
_ [Gbm] _ [G] [Dm] You know what she said?
She said, [Gm] Roy.
I said, yo.
[D] She said, Roy, if you don't [C] stop playing that music running [Eb] all over the [C] country like you're
crazy or something, I'm going to leave you.
[Gb] I could [Gm] not believe [G] my ears so I went [Am] outside and took a walk [Gm] around the block.
I came back [Ab] in the house [G] and I walked up to her.
I said, come [Eb] again.
[Dm]
[Gb] She said, if you don't stop playing that music [G] running all over the country like you're crazy
or something, I'm going to leave [E] you.
You know what I told her?
[D] _ _ _ _ I don't want to sound cold.
I don't want to [Gb] sound hard.
[G] But you know, a man can only take so [E] much _ [Fm] and that was too much for me.
Let me go [Eb] back.
Let me [D] forget about that negative thing.
Let's go [Gb] back to the [G] positive.
You remember when we were in the park?
[Bb]
We had a blanket and we were [Fm] laying there in the park.
I'm going to tell you the first words [Eb] I whispered in [Am] the mirror.
I pulled her close to me [Gbm] and I said these [G] words to [Dm] her.
_ _ [E] _
Let me [D] kiss [F] you _ [Eb] on your [Dm] poo poo la [E] la.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [E]
Poo baby.
_ [D] _ [G] _ _ You've got [Am] to let me kiss you, [Gb] kiss [G] you.
_ _ [F] _ _
[Gm] Let me [D] [Am] squeeze you on [Bb] your dio [D] da da.
_ _ [Gb] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Ab] Poo baby.
[F] _ _ [C] You've got [Am] to let me kiss you, [Gbm] kiss you.
[G] _ [B] And I squeezed her real tight and I said, [Gm] Jack [Fm] and Jim, [F] we've been up [Bb] in here.
[Am] _ You're a [G] fetcher filled with water.
_ _ [E] _
Jack [D] fell [Am] down and broke his [Eb] crown.
[D] _
_ _ [Gbm] [G] Jill [B] said, _ [Dm] _ _
[E] just don't break [G] your poo poo la la.
[Db] _ [D] _
Oh [Gb] yeah.
[G] _ [Dm] Anyway, four [D] years passed _ and [Am] there I am sitting in my [Bbm] R-A [Dm]
[Am]-N-Y-C [Gbm]-B-A [G]-P-T.
[Dm] Royal Airs, New York City, bachelor [Bb] apartment, doing my thing.
[Ab] [F] Minding my own business.
As a matter of fact, I was [Bb] looking at [Dm]
[Am] the [Gbm] television [G] and the telephone rang.
[E] _
At [D] that time I [F] incorporated into my voice [D] pattern what I call my very [Gb] white approach.
[G] And I [F] picked up the phone and I said, [Em] _
_ [Ab] hello.
[G] _ _ [Eb] There was [D] no answer.
I said it once again, [E] _ [Em] [Dm] hello.
_ _ [Bb]
And this voice came [D] on the phone.
[F] It sounded just like.
[Eb] _ [Dm] _
[Am] Ooh, [Gb] _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Bb]
time went [D] by and we both _ learned.
_ [Gbm] _ [G] _ [E] Ooh, _ _
[Bb] lonely [Ab] [D] nights increase our _ pain.
_ [Gbm] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D]
Don't you [Fm] think, don't you think we should [Bbm] [D] grow up?
[Gbm] _ [G] I'm a [D] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Eb] [D] tree.
_ _ [Gbm] _ [Em] _ _ _ _
Still loving [Ab] [F] you, whether you're [Eb] right [D] or _ [Gbm] wrong.
