I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
C#7
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
G7(sus4)/D G7(sus4)
But you'll find that nowadays

I've mended all my ways
G# C# G G7
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch

It's a talent that I always have possessed
G7(sus4)/D G7(sus4)
And dear lady, please don't laugh

I use it on behalf
G# C# G7sus4 G/F
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (pathetic)

That one wants to get the girl

And do I help them?

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber

Yet on land it's much prefered for ladies not to say a word

And after all dear, what is idle babble for?
Dm9
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
D#
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
Em7(5b) A7 Em7(5b) A7

The boss is on a roll

This poor unfortunate soul
