Last night while I was trying to sleep
A E
I heard a racket from the room next door, hum
E B
And that was you and your man havin' a fight
A E
Like you've done so many nights before
E B
"Woman, I'll turn you every which way but loose"
A E
Is what I heard him shout, uh-oh, look out!
E B
So I jumped out of the bed and I opened the door
A E
Just as you came runnin' out
E B
And I hollered: why don't you try me tonight ?
A E

And I won't tell you, honey, you will be free
E B
But all night, well, I will keep trying

And when I say I want ya, girl, you know I'm not lyin'
E B
You see a good woman out on the streets these days, friends

And call true love a crime
