When you need a bit o' lovin' cause your man is out of town
           F               Bb                C            Dm (3/4)
That's the time you get me runnin' and you know I'll be around

You have sent the maid home early like a thousand times before
Dm     Am7            Dm          G        Cmaj7
Like a castle in his corner in a medieval game

I foresee terrible trouble and I stay here just the same
