Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe
If you don't really care
Fm
You wanted me sadder, you wanted me sadder
D#                           A#             G#
Fishtail, what's the matter? Ah-ah, ah, ah-ah

Fm
Skippin' rope in the bayou, bayou
D#
Slip softly in terrain
A#                            G#
Not that smart, but I've got things to say
Fm
Palm trees in black and white
D#
I like to watch them sway
A#                        G#
You're so funny, I wish I could skinny-dip
             Fm
inside your mind

                   D#
Lately, I've been thinkin' about
                   A#
how things used to be
              G#                                 Fm
Swingin' in a nightgown underneath the old oak tree
             D#                            A#
Almost Victorian with you, you can talk to me
But, lately, I can see

Chorus:
                    Cm                   D#
You wanted me sadder, you wanted me sadder (Baby)
           G#    A#
Can't you see it?
    Cm
For me, you are the one
           D#
And if I'm not the one for you
          G#    Gm
Don't you say it
Fm
I was on the stairs
                       D#
Ella Fitzgerald in the air
Feelin' hella rare
             G#
Baby, if you care
Baby, don't you dare say
G7
You'll braid my hair, babe
Fm                  D#
Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe
   G#
If you don't really care
A#
You wanted me sadder

Dancin' there in the hot, hot sun
I know that we've got problems
I plan to address them another day
Palm trees in black and white
I see in technicolor
Maybe I'll take my glasses off so
I stop painting red flags green

Lately, I've been sunnin' in the L.A. riverbed
Wearin' nothin' but the summer bruises on my knees
I like how you talk, how you speak,
how you look at me
But, lately, I can see

Chorus:
You wanted me sadder (Baby)
You wanted me sadder
You wanted me sadder
Can't you see it?
For me, you are the one
And if I'm not the one for you
Don't just say it
I was on the stairs
Ella Fitzgerald in the air
Feelin' hella rare
Baby, if you care
Baby, don't you dare say
You'll braid my hair, see
Baby, if you care, then
(Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, see)
Baby, don't you dare say
That you really care
Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair
When you get home tonight
And if you don't really care
Yeah, don't you dare say that
you'll braid my hair, babe
If you don't really care, see
Don't you braid my hair
If you're not coming home to me

You want someone sadder
Skippin' rope in the bayou, bayou
Slip softly in terrain
I'm not that smart
But I've got things to say
