^DNow she's gone so carry on Tell me the latest evil about ^A7her 'cause like the old saying goes that just makes the tongue go ^Dlouder And in the presence of her absense the worst in her comes ^Gout ^DIt always seems the ^Ggirl in my dreams is the ^A7girl they talk ^Dabout ^DWell I guess it's fate Everyday there's some bad girl around ^A7town

It seems to be my luck every girl I pick up

Is the one everybody puts ^Ddown But until they proved I made a foolish move Beyond the shadow of a ^Gdoubt ^DI can be found ^Ghanging around ^A7The girl they talk ^Dabout ^GI don't listen to the things they say ^Dand let them make a fool out of me ^GThey're spreading rumors and little white lies '^Dcause they're jealous of me^A7 ^DI've heard them say they'll come a day When she's going to paint me ^A7blue

She'll brush her past all over my future

with evil deeds she'll ^Ddo but whatever she's done she's not alone there's not a halo on those who ^Gshout ^Dand in the best crowd I ^Gwalk proud ^A7Beside the girl they talk ^Dabout
