Intro:

D7

Verse 1:

       Am                 D7
If you want, something to play with,
                        G    Gmaj7  G6
Go and find your-self a toy.
	E7             Am      D7
Baby my time is too ex-pensive,
	                G    Gmaj7  G6  G7
And I'm not your little boy.

Chorus 1:

Bm          Em
 If you are serious,
Bm
 Don't play with my heart;
            Em
It makes me furious.
Bm                     C
 But if you want me to love you,
	    D     C/D             D
Then baby I will, girl you know I will.

Verse 2:

D7		 Am
 Tell it like it is,
           D7
Don't be ashamed,
                               G     Gmaj7  G6
To let your conscience be your guide.
      E7        Am
But I know deep down inside of me,
              D7
I believe you love me;
                     G    Gmaj7  G6  G7
For-get your foolish pride.

Chorus 2:

Bm                         Em
 Life is too short to have sorrow,
Bm                    Em
 We may be here today and gone tomorrow.
Bm                              C
 You might as well get what you want,
	     D     D/C            D
So go on and live, girl go on and live.

Verse 3:

D7		 Am
 Tell it like it is,
           D7
Don't be ashamed,
                            G     Gmaj7  G6
Let your conscience be your guide.
      E7        Am
But I know deep down inside of me,
              D7
I believe you love me;
                     G    Gmaj7  G6  G7
For-get your foolish pride.

	A7/C#          G7/D     Dm  G7
Baby my time is too ex-pensive,
	Dm  G7          C    Cmaj7  C6
And I'm not your little boy.
G7		 Am
 Tell it like it is...
