I wish that you would listen and maybe try to understand
D Dm
There just ain't nothin' here to hurt you
D Dm
You don't know me yet you say so like you do
D Dm
Cause each time I that I write you you make me out to be your fool
F Em D
Baby, what's the matter please?
If I give you lovin' from way down deep inside
You say I'm just pretending but if I had something to hide
Would I stand up to have you laugh right in my face
I'm a simple man of love is that to my disgrace
Baby, what's the matter please?
Bm F#m
Lonely nights thinkin' what should I do
G Bm F#m
Draw the line, I got feelings too, that's right
G D F
But I'll love you and try to put your heart at ease
Em D
Baby, what's the matter please?
D
Precious moments are so few
F D
Looking for the love I thought I knew
My life seems like a hundred years a day
Waiting in this dream or in a nightmare should I say
Cause all I'm askin's that we never give away
That little bit of somethin that meant so much yesterday
Baby, what's the matter please?
