C#            G#
You're cruel, you do
F#                C#
You do, you do me wrong
C#           G#
You hurt me, you flirt with
F#                       C#
Any old face that comes along

Chorus:
A#m         F#               C#
But I won't be your whipping boy
   A#m     F#               C#
No I won't be your whipping boy
F#m
Break me like a little toy
G#
Run me till my feet are sore
      F#                     C#  D#m F# C# D#m F# C#
But I won't be your whipping boy

You're wild, you're sly
What you done to me
I was thirty, I look like fifty
But I feel like sixty three

Chorus

C#          A#m
It's this illegal kind of loving
      Fm  
That keeps my motor running
          F#
From the start to the finish line
        A#m                         D#7
It's a trashy kind of me that likes to believe
G#
That I'm still trying, I'm still trying

I'm still trying, yes I'm trying

You're dirty, but you're worth it
But you're way, you're way too young
I could do time if they found out
Look out, San Quentin here I come

Chorus

I won't be your whipping boy
