[E] Well, [G] there is something [C] very funny [G] going on here.
Yes, there is something very strange that's going down.
I got this real uneasy feeling in my stomach [E] most of the time.
[C] And usually [A] it gets worse when [D] you're around.
[G] Now I know you [C] are my ever [G]-loving baby.
Yes, I know that [C] you would never do [D] me wrong.
[G]
So I hope that you [C] won't take offense, [G] but I got to [E] ask you some questions, darling.
[C] Because there's something [D] most unusual [G] going on.
For [C] instance, how come I [D] can't see you in [G] my mirror?
How [C] come you never [D] come around here [G] Sunday night?
How [C] come you won't stay [D] where your family [G] lives and you always [E] look so pale?
How [C] come you got that [A] crazy look there [D] in your eye?
[G] When I lay in the bed, you smell just like a basement.
And your wardrobe's down to strictly black and red.
Sometimes at night I can see you down on the pavement [E] sneaking around.
[C] Come to think of [A] it, when do you [D] go to bed?
[G] I ain't [C] one to go and [G] start no rumors.
No, I ain't [C] never used a [D] poison pen.
[G] But I know much [C] care for the way you try [G] to pick your [E] teeth out in public, baby.
[C] Or the way you're [A] always staring [D] at my neck.
You [C] tell me how come I [D] can't see you in my mirror?
How [C] come you never [D] come around here in the day?
[G] How come you start to [D] hiss when I say my prayers and you wear those [E] stupid capes?
And [C] every time you [A] see a cross, you [D] run away.
[C] Hey, what'd you say [D] your name was anyway?
[G] I'm asking you how come I [D] can't see you in [G] my mirror?
How come [C] you never [D] come around here [G] in the day?
How come [C] you start to hiss [D] when I say my [G] prayers and you wear those [E] stupid capes?
And every [C] time you see [E] a cross, you [D] run away.
Well, [C] now, what'd you [D] say your name [G] was anyway?
[Em] [D] [G] Tell me, darling, [C] [D] is it Marion?
Tell me, darling, [G] is it you?
[C] Is it Marion?
[D] Now, would a guy like [Em] me, you know, kind of just an [C] ordinary foreigner boy from [Am] South California
[D] stand a chance around somebody like you?
[C] I mean, it [D] scares the shit out of [G] me the way you look at me.
