[D][G][D]
[A][D][G]
[D]Yeah...

[Verse 1]
[G]
[D]Uh, excuse me.
Excuse me!
you talking to me?
Yes, [G]uh, could I have a word with
you for a few minutes?
Okay.
[D]Come on, have a seat, sit down.
Make yourself comfortable.
[G]Thanks.
How long have we known each other?
[D]About ten months, guess.
Yeah, [G]about that.
You and
John are real tight, aren't you?
[D]Yes, very.
Is that an engagement ring?
[G]Yes.
Oh, congratulations.
[D]Thank you.
He slipped it on your finger [G]last night.
John should know that he's
the luckiest [D]man in the world.
And he should be real proud to
have someone like [G]you.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't [D]mean to digress.
I know you're wondering why
I speak with you up.
[G]Um, it's, it's something that's
been bugging me [D]for about five months.
And I've been carrying this thing around and it's getting
[G]heavier and heavier every day.
It's about to the boiling point. I've
got to [D]get it off my chest.
I'm not trying to be fresh
or anything like that.
[G]Don't get me wrong.
I know you're
John's girl, but I've got to [D]tell you this.
Let me give you a little background.
[G]See, I was born and
raised in the ghetto.
Came from a [D]rather small family.
We weren't rich,
of course, being [G]in the ghetto.
My dad, my old man, he left us when I
was about three [D]years old.
so that my mother was the head of the family and she
[G]was a god -fearing woman she she took us to
church every
Sunday an[D]d I sang in the
choir went to
Sunday school and my mom
[G]she'd always say son
do unto others as you would have them do unto you
you know don't rob don't [D]steal don't break
in anybody's homes or things like that you
know things [G]that good parents try to instill in their
Now, I must admit, I was no saint. I mean, I [D]had my little fights and,
you know, I played hooky a few times, but I didn't [G]commit any crimes.
You know, it like I had to wait until I [D]reached manhood to commit a crime,
according to the court of love, if there is [G]such a court.
But you know, there are some things
that we [D]have no control over.
You know this little fella,
[G]Cupid, you know he can shoot his arrow
so fast [D]you can't get
out of the way, and you can't fall,
you see it's [G]like being in quicksand, the more you
wiggle and struggle to be free,
the faster [D]an d deeper you'll sink.
I don't mean to take [G]up so much of your
time, just bear with me for just a little while
longer.
You see I'm not very good with words,
so try [D]to be patient.
I know it's a lot of talk going around,
[G]Ike's trying to knock
John's girl off, but [D]what can I say?
[G]I don't mean to be a love thief. I[D]'ve never known anybody
like you. I've never felt towards anybody like [G]I do you.
I don't think he could love you any more than I do,
nobody [D]could, you're so special, you're
[G]so special, and I'll face the world with my feelings,
[D]for you, and I don't back down from
[G]my conviction, cause right now...
