(G) C
Well friend you've got a pretty woman
And you think she's really something
F C
But she using you to play her game
Even if you treat her tender
In a month she won't remember
G
What you looked like or even your name
C Am
So don't even try to trust her
C
Cause she leaves you broken fluster
F C
With nobody but yourself to blame
Am
She'll lie to you and leave you
C F
with nothing but depression
G C
a heartache and sorrow and shame
Refrain:
C
Cause you can't turn a whore into a lady
F C
Unless she wants to do it herself
She's got to be willing to do it on her own
G
Without nobody's help
C Am
You could try and try
C F C
But you just can't make somebody be someone else
Am C
No you can't turn a whore into a lady
G C
Unless she wants to do it herself
Well I know you think you got it made
But she's just a jay
Listen to me friend I know her kind
She'll just tear up your nerves if you fall for her
So just walk away and leave her behind
Cause when you fall in her lap, you're falling in her trap
and she'll rob you blind of your last dime.
You're just another stranger
And you will never change her
If you try you're wasting your time
Cause you can't turn a whore into a lady
Unless she wants to do it herself
She's got to be willing to do it on her own
You could try and try
But you just can't make somebody be someone else
No you can't turn a whore into a lady
Unless she wants to do it herself
-Whole this part is Am, C, try it with arpeggio:
My son,
attend unto my wisdom,
and bow thine ear to my understanding
That thou mayest regard discretion
and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb,
and her mouth is smoother than oil
But her end is bitter as wormwood
sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death;
her steps take hold on hell.
To keep thee from the evil woman,
from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart
neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
For by means of a whorish woman
a man is brought to a piece of bread
and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
Let not thine heart decline to her ways
go not astray in her paths
For she hath cast down many wounded
and many strong men have been slain by her.
Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
So if you think you got a lady
But she always tells you crazy stupid stories 'bout where she's been
And you remember back before she was yours
She got around with a bunch of different men
You don't matter if you love her
that don't make a no different to any of them
Cause if she cheated before
She's probably still a whore
And she's gonna do it again
No you can't turn a whore into a lady
Unless she wants to do it herself
She's got to be willing to do it on her own
Without nobody's help
You could try and try
But you just can't make somebody be someone else
No you can't turn a whore into a lady
Unless she wants to do it herself
No you can't turn a whore into a lady
Unless she wants to do it herself
Wish u all the best from Konjic, Bosnia and Herzegovina!
