Verse One
===========
BHow can you say Dthat you need me when you Bnever look me in the Dface
BHow can you say Dthat you love me when Byou've been messing around all Dover the place
BI went downtown Dyesterday and I was Bwalking in the marketDplace
BEverybody Dlaughed at me, they Bwhispered that i Dwas a disgrace
(B5 E5)X4
Verse 2
You've been out all night drinking again, you never even bother to call
Been crossing blades with god knows who, you're headed for your rise and fall
Sooner or later I'll wake up and wipe the sleep out of my eyes
Later that day when you wake up you'll be in for a big surprise
Chorus
===========
F#5Black White and Db5White go Black
F#5Black White and Db5White go F#5Black
E5Black White and B5White go Black
E5Black White and B5White go E5Black
F#5Black White and Db5White go BlackF#5 Db5 F#5
E5Black White and B5White go E5Black

Verse Three
You talk about yourself all night when really you are such a bore
You give me flowers to my face, behind my back you call me a whore
I've had enough of your god knows what, I think it's time for you to leave
I've forgiven you too many times before, this time you get no reprive
Verse Four
The bed's too big without you but I suppose it'll have to do
Better to lay in an empty bed than to spend another night beside you
People talking all over town about the way you've been putting me down
People talking all over town, they don't want to see you around

That's my interpretation...at least as close as I could write on
paper. I tried to get as close note per note on the solo as I
could but since I have the feeling that Mr. Hammon doesn't play these
exact notes every time, improvisation on the B pentatonic is
probably fine.
Feel free to e-mail me for comment, corrections, etc.
