                      D       A  Bm
She doesn't like the tough guys
                  A       D            A    Bm
They think that they can do anything they please
      C
But they're gonna get a surprise
          Em
When she brings them to their knees

'Cause she doesn't like the rough guys
They think that they can have any girl they choose
They've got tricks, but my baby's got wise
So in case you haven't heard the news

Chorus:
                      D
She doesn't like the tough guys
                      G
She doesn't like the rough guys
                     D
So find someone your own size
                            A D
'Cause she's not afraid of you

She doesn't like the tough guys
She says that they've got brains all where they sit
They think they're full of fire
She thinks they're full of shit

Chorus:
                             D
'Cause she doesn't like the tough guys
                      G
She doesn't like the rough guys
                        D
She's gonna call your bluff, guys
                              A
And you better believe it's true
                D
She don't like you, no

Ooh, she doesn't like the tough guys
They think that they can do anything they please
But they're gonna get a surprise
When she brings them to their knees

'Cause she doesn't like the rough guys
They act like they can have any girl they choose
They've got tricks, but my baby's got wise
So in case you haven't heard the news

Chorus:
                      D
She doesn't like the tough guys
                      G
She doesn't like the rough guys
                    D
So find someone you own size
                            Em   C
'Cause she's not afraid of you, Oooh

                      D
She doesn't like the rough guys
                       G
She says she's heard enough lies
                       D
She's gonna call your bluff, guys
                              A
And you better believe it's true

D G
