[Verse 1]
I Dchoose my friends, only Cadd9far too Gwell,

With their Dgovernment grants and Cadd9my I. GQ.

Lou - Dise is a girl, I Cadd9know her wGell,
She's up on the Dpavement, yes, she's a Cadd9weather girl, G
And I'm staying Dup here, so I may Cadd9be un - Gdone,
She's inap - Dpropriate, but then she's Cadd9much more Gfun, and...
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Fadd9 Fmaj7 Fadd9 G [Riff]
When she smiles my way ...my eyes go out in vain,
She's got Cperfect Gskin | F/ / C/ / |
[Verse 3]
DShame on you, you've got no Cadd9sense of Ggrace, shame on Dme,
Ah, Cadd9just in Gcase, I might Dcome to a conclusion,
Other than Cadd9that which is Gabsolutely Dnecessary,
Cadd9 And that's Gperfect Dskin

And Lou - Dise is the girl with the Cadd9perfect Gskin,
She says, "Turn Don the light, otherwise it Cadd9can't be Gseen!"
She's got Dcheekbones like geometry and Cadd9eyes like Gsin,
And she's.D..sexually enlightened byCadd9 ...Cosmo - Gpolitan, and...

[Verse 5]
She takes me Ddown to the basement to Cadd9look at her slides, G
Of her Dfamily life, pretty Cadd9weird at Gtimes,
At the Dage of ten she looked like Cadd9Greta Gar - Gbo,
And I Dloved her then, but Cadd9how was Gshe to know that?
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 When she Fadd9smiles myFmaj7 way ...my eyes go Fadd9out in Gvain,
She's got Cperfect Gskin | F/ / C/ / |
[Verse 6]
Up Deight flights of stairs to her Cadd9basement Gflat,
Pretty con - fDused, huh, being shipped a - Cadd9round like Gthat?
Seems we Dclimbed so high, now we're Cadd9down so Glow,
Strikes me the Dmoral of this song must be Cadd9there never Ghas been Done!
