[Verse 1]
BmShe wears a wedding ring her sister lent
To throw them off the Emscent
EmJust let them guess, it's what they expect
Who in the world has bitten her nBmeck?
She's discovered wearing last night's Emdress
EmThe carnal and cunning, she couldn't express
AWho do you think she's trying to imDpress? G
[Chorus]
AI think you'd better Bmhold Ayour Gtongue
AAlthough you've Dnever been that Bmstrong
GI'm sorry to Asay that DI knew all Bmalong
You're Gno match for Athat sulky Emgirl
F#m
[Verse 2]
BmShe left her european town
Before she let the family Emdown
EmShe couldn't stand the massacre game
So she dyed her hair and adopted another Bmname
With the evidence of passing Emout stamped on her hand
EmShe glows in the dark
AHe thinks she's from another planet Dso G
[Chorus]
AI think you'd better Bmhold Ayour Gtongue
AAlthough you've Dnever been that Bmstrong
GI'm sorry to Asay that I Dknew all alBmong
You're Gno match for Athat sulky Emgirl

[Verse 3]
BmHe said "Hello, my pretty flower"
Just trying out his tycoon Empower
EmAvoiding the mirror, her pitying stare
She said "You're mistaken, your money's no Bmgood in here"
Just some stupid little know-it-Emall
EmWho thought she looked easy, he's not that astute
EmHe'll pay for the distance
ABetween cruelty and beauty D G
