[D][Bm]
[D]I

[Verse 1]
never

[G]I ain't got no P[D]HD
But [G]boys listen up when
[D]it comes to [B]love
You can [E]learn a thing or two from me
[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]I'm no expert on making love work
I [G]really can't tell you a [D]lot
[G]I don't know how to keep

But I [E]sure know how
[A]to run one off

of what's mine
