   G
I got something to say that might cause you pain,
If I catch you talking to that boy again,
           C
I'm gonna let you down,
                G
And leave you flat,
           D7              C
Because I told you before, oh,
               G
You can't do that.

Well, it's the second time, I've caught you talking to him,
Do I have to tell you one more time, I think it's a sin,
I think I'll let you down.
Let you down and leave you flat,
Gonna let you down and leave you flat,
Because I've told you before, oh,
You can't do that.

              B Em
Ev'rybody's green,
       Am                B        G
'cause I'm the one, who won your love,
             B Em
But if it's seen,
        Am                                  D
You're talking that way they'd laugh in my face.

So please listen to me, if you wanna stay mine,
I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind.
I know I'll let you down,
And leave you flat,
Gonna let you down and leave you flat,
Because I've told you before, oh,
You can't do that.
