[Verse]
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
Jim, living with you's not such fun
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
You're not the only one
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
You don't have the looks
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
You're not the person that you used to be
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And there are people on the street that would go for me
[Chorus]
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face
[Verse]
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
I met you in a bar in L.A., I was not feeling so good
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
You did the proper moves, you did everything that you should
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
But now you're making a mistake
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And somebody else will take your place
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
You're taking drugs over me
[Chorus]
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face
[Verse]
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
You're not the kind of person
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
It's easy to live with in a house
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
I cook all your meals, I make sure that you work out
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
But lately it's been gettin' so hard
("Man, you don't split your stash or your bread")
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
The way you talk, ooohhh, the way you walk
("You can keep it")
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I'm not sure exactly what it's all about
[Chorus]
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I said no, no, no, no, no Ba-a-by Face
[Chorus]
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I said no, no, no, no, no Baby Face
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
And I said now, no, no, no, no, no Baby Face
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
No way now, Baby Face, uh uh
Dm C G Dm Dm C F Dm
("You can keep it, just keep it")
[Outro]
