He was [C] happy with the [Ab] Jordan thing with [Bbm] Queen
Sneaking out the back [Ebm] door
Hang up with those hoodlums in the back door [Ab] Oh, [Ebm] [Bb] oh
Sneaking out the back door
[Ebm] But boy, I thought I told you not to go outside
[Ab] [Gb] [A]
[Bb] Find your best [C] to bring the [Fm] water to your [F] eyes
Thinking [C] you might stop her [Fm] from whooping your [Bbm] ass
I'm just one dance, girl
[Bb] Got my heart smoked, but it's no dance
[Ab] And [Ebm] I'm [Bb] not gonna go
[Gb] I'm just one dance, [Ebm] girl
Got my heart smoked, [Bbm] but it's no dance
[Ab] [Ebm] And I'm not gonna [Bb] go
I'm not gonna go
I'm not gonna go
Brother said he's feeling
Aren't you playing doctor with that nerve?
[Ab] [Bb]
Just don't tell an idealist
Anything you want, just hold back, girl
[C]
Mama gives you money [Fm] for Sunday [F] school
[C] You trade yours for candy [Fm] after church [Bb] is through
Smoking cigarettes and
Buying something nasty for [Gb] your mom
[Ab] You know [Bbm] the poor ones, girl
[D]
[Bb] Teachers send you to the principal's office
Down the hall
[Ab] [Ebm] [Bb] You go [C] up and learn the [Fm] kind of thing [Abm] is right
[Bb] Or the one you [C] want to and [Ab] it's
Jumped out of [Gbm] the sky, down with [Eb] those dance [Bb] girls
Got my heart smoked, but it's no dance
[Ab] [Ebm] [Bb] I'm just one dance, girl
Got my heart smoked, but it's no dance
And I'm [Bbm] not gonna go
