Verse 1

|-Riff->                                      |-Riff->
Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain
|-Riff->
It was a kind of so-so love 
|-Riff->
And I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen again
|-Riff->                 |-Riff->
You and I had to be, the standing joke of the year
|-Riff->
You were a run around, a lost and found
|-Riff->
And not for me, I feel


Chorus 

C         G         Bm   C  D
Take your hands off me, hey
C         G        Bm      C   D
I don't belong to you, you see
C        G         Bm            C    D
Take a look at my face, for the last time
C                  G
I never knew you, you never knew me
Bm             C   D
Say hello goodbye
|-Riff->               |-Riff->
Say hello and wave goodbye


Verse 2

|-Riff->                 
We try to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt 
    |-Riff->
And me in a suit, but it just wasn't me
|-Riff->
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess
|-Riff->
So insecure you see
|-Riff->
Well I've put up with all the scenes, 
                             |-Riff->
But this is one scene that's going to be played my way

Repeat Chorus

|-Riff->                                         |-Riff->
Under the deep red lights, I can see the make-up sliding down
     |-Riff->
Well hey little girl you will always make up
   |-Riff->
So take off that unbecoming frown
|-Riff->                                 |-Riff->
As for me well, I'll find someone who's not going cheap in the sale 
  |-Riff->
A nice little housewife, who'll give me the steady life
    |-Riff->
And not keep going off the rails

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Riff and adlib vocal
