Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][Gsus4][G][C][G][C][G][Gsus4]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[Gm]Don't look at me don't touch me
Keep your mind [G]straight [Gsus4]ahead[C]
[G]Don't get[Gm] no funny ideas about we
[G]Or you'll wish you [Gsus4]were dead[C]
That's what I am thinking
[Cm]she must be thinking
The girl [C]I spent fifty three bucks on last [Cm]night
[C]She[Gm] give me a look from
[Gsus4]the corner [Gm]of her eye
That [G]says, "Boy, keep acting [Gsus4]right"[A]
How surprised was I
When she leaned over and
[D]whispered in my ear
[C]Get a leg up

[Verse 2]
[G][Gsus4]
Get a leg over [G]boy[Gsus4]
Get [C]a leg [G]up[Gsus4]
What's the matter
Are [Gm]you shy, [G]shy, shy[Gsus4]?[C]

[Verse 3]
[Gm]I'm pretty good with first impressions
[G]But sometimes I'm not always right
[Gm]I pulled the car to the shoulder of the road
[G]To see what she had in [Gsus4]mind[C]
Want me to spend [Bb]the night[Cm]
Hey lov[C]er boy you know I [Cm]will
And [Gm]my best girlfriend lives
down the [Gsus4]road
To[Gm]gether [Gsus4]we will thrill ya[G]
And I'm [A]thinking to myself
I could be [D]lucky Pierre tonight
If I could get [C]a leg up

[Verse 4]
[G]
If [Gsus4]I could get a leg over boy[G][Gsus4]
You know I ain't [C]that [Gm]handsome[Gsus4]
But you know I ain't [G]shy, shy, [Gsus4]shy

[Interlude 1]
[F][G][Gsus4][G][Gm][Gsus4][G][Gsus4]
[G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4][Gm][G][C][Gsus4][G]
[Gsus4][C][Gsus4][G][C][G]

[Verse 5]
[Gm]The rest of the night
[C]we went [Cm]on and o[C]n
[G]And the moral to this [Gsus4]song[G]
Don't go making [Cm]hasty judgements
[F]Because [Gsus4]sometimes[G] they
could be [Gm]wrong[C]
Nothing wrong with [Cm]a good time
[C]Just keep yourself
protected make [Bb]a list
[Cm]And [Bb]you can bet y[Gm]our life that
the women don´t know
The [G]little girls are acting like this
So the nex[A]t time a young one moves up
And [D]she whispers in your ear

[Verse 6]
Get a leg [G]up[Gsus4]
Get a leg over [G]boy
[Gsus4]Get a leg up[G]
What's the [Gsus4]matter
Now don't you be [G]shy, shy,
[Gsus4]shy?
[F][G][Gsus4]

[Verse 7]
[G]
[Gsus4]Get a leg u[C]p[Gm][G][Gsus4]
[Gm]Get [G]a[Gsus4][C][G][Gsus4]
[C]leg[G] over boy[Gsus4]
[C]Get a leg [G]up
What's the matter
[Gsus4]Now don't you be shy,[G]
[Gsus4]shy, shy?

[Outro 1]
[G]
