[INTRO]
squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..................

D                   Bm
Why do we have this awkward scene
            Em                   A
Everytime I phone and you're not alone
D                  Bm        
Why does it always have to be
              Em                 A
a tense atmosphere until you get here

Bm
You tear off my shirt
F#m
Then slip off your skirt
Bm
If you want to play I can
           A     
Just leave on your american tan

D                   Bm
Why in your friends company
              Em                        A
Do you act so cold, I think I should be told
D               Bm
Why are you so ashamed of me
                        Em                 A
'cause when they're not there, you seem to care

Bm
You suddenly become
F#m
A lot less quarrelsome
Bm
Without your hangers on
A
Embarrassment has gone

Bm
I really want your love
F#m
But I've been taken advantage of
Bm
Because the woman I adore
     A
Only appears behind this door

D5                     B5
Why can't you just be fair
                  G5     B5
Can't you be this lovely
                      F#5
When your friends are there

D5                  B5
Why have you got to screw
                     G5      B5
And not say that you love me?
          F#5
Oh then I knew
