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
