Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Yo Yvette,
there's a lot of rumors goin' around
They're so bad,
baby you might have to skip town
[E]See something's [Em]smellin'
fishy and they say it's you
All I know is that you made it with
the [E]whole damn crew
[Em]They say you're a man-eater
during [E]during [Em]the full moon
Mascot of the senior boys' locker room
They said Yvette walked in, there
[E]wasn't [Em]too much [E]rap
[Em]Her reputation got bigger,
[E]and so did her gap
'Cause girl your momma
should of taught you better
I'ma sit down and write you
a long letter
[Em][E]

[Verse 2]
Dear Yvette
[Em]Dear Yvette
[E]Dear [Em]Yvett[E]e
[Em]Dear Yvette
[E]I'm glad you ain't my sister,

[Verse 3]
then again [Em]if you was
I'd have to [E]treat you like
you was my distant 'cause
I'm not a news reporter,
[Em]I don't [E]mean to [Em]assume
What should I think? I seen ya comin'
out the men's bathroom
You wasn't [E]in there alone,
wasn't [Em]usin' the phone
The door was locked for twenty minutes,
all I heard [E]was moan

[Verse 4]
[E]Dear [Em]Yvette
[E]Dear Yve[Em]tte[E]
Dear Yvette
[Em]Dear [E]Yvette[Em]
I don't [E]really know if the story

[Verse 5]
is so
[Em]I can eith[E]er ask Curly,
or Larry [Em]or Moe
Or Earl, Shabazz, Lou, [E]Mookie or Joe
[Em]Like Santa Claus said, [E]you're a ho-ho-ho
In [Em]In In every disco you say hello
Like you're a little angel,
but [E]we all know
Since you was eleven
you been actin' this way
You [Em]always got in [E]bed when you
wanted to play
You're a freak,
you think you're Lady Godiva
Some [Em]freaks are live,
but [E]Yvette [Em]you're liver
[E]Dear

[Verse 6]
[Em]Yvette
Dear [E]Yvette
Dear Yvette
Dear [Em]Yvette

[Verse 7]
[E]You're a back-seat queen, queen,
a elev[Em]ator [E]pro
A high-powered body [F#m]body
[Em]makes your Levis [E]grow
See the stories [Em]I've [E]heard,
they could amaze
[Em]I heard she did [E]it on a motorcycle
back [Em]in the days
[E]So calm down freak, get a G.E.D.
That's a General Education on Decency
[Em]One day you'll see,
and agree with me
Unless you're gonna [E]be a freak
until you're ninety [Em]three[E]
[Em]For you there's no fee, everything is free
This is from me to you, not you to me
Every [E]night is your night,
your leather pants are tight
[Em]You try to s[E]hake your
butt with all [Em]your might
[E]I don't really wan[Em]na dis nob[E]ody
You [Em]might think I had a little
too much [E]Bacardi
[Em]But that's not the p[E]roblem,
the problem's [Em]Yvette
[E]How bad can a girl's reputation get?
See she's the kinda [Em]girl all
the homeboys met
If you're desperate ask Yvette,

[Verse 8]
'cause she'll say bet
[Em]
Dear Yvette
Dear [E]Yvette
Dear [Em]Yvette[E]
Dear Yvette

[Verse 9]
B-Boys are [E]are hard on the boulevard
The Reverend at the church said
you was [Em]barred
[E]Homeboys on the block
loved you a [Em]lot
You're a real famous freak whether
you like it or not
So before you start walking and your
beak [E]starts [Em]squawkin'
Let me ex[E]plain to you who [Em]is talkin'
I'm L.L. Cool J from around
the way
You boogie down to my
records almost every day
Go a hundred [E]miles an [Em]hour
when you're standin' still
You're faster than my Caddy [E]when it's
goin' down[Em]hill
Won't forget that [E]day [Em]in the Y.M.C.A.
The guy at the desk said [E]it was OK
[Em]For you [E]to come inside 'cause he
knew you'd stay
[Em]Greg G. And Garfield yelled
[E]"Hooray"[Em][E]

[Verse 10]
[Em]Dear [E]Yvette
[Em]Dear [E]Yvette
Dear Yvette
Dear [Em]Yvette[E]
[Em]Dear Yvette

[Verse 11]
[E]Dear [Em]Yvette
Dear Yvette

[Outro 1]
Dear Yvette
