Ooh, ooh, babe, you know I love you, true;
Does not mean I’m gonna let you fool
With this secondhand heart of mine
Oooh, you gotta put in the time
I see you with those boys you know
They’re tryin’ so hard to show
How rich and how mean and how tough
Ooh, I know you don’t need that stuff
We could have a good time
Have a good time
For a while
We will have a good time
Have a good time
For a while…
I’ll take up dancing
It improves romancing (do it again)
Take you out to dinner
I’ll pay, ‘cause I’m a winner (do it again)
We’ll practice poses
In a bed of roses (do it again)
And in the morning
I’ll leave without warning
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again…
I’m a man; we peak at thirty-five
After that, no need to stay alive
It’s ok, ‘cause I’ve had my fun
Gotta know when the race is run
Any wise man knows to let it go
Hide his face before the sinning shows
Pass the word on to a lonely teen
Help him live out all his teenage dreams
He could have a good time
Have a good time
For a while
He will have a good time
Have a good time
For a while…
He’ll take up dancing
It improves romancing (do it again)
Take her out to dinner
He’ll pay, ‘cause he’s a winner (do it again)
They’ll practice poses
In a bed of roses (do it again)
And in the morning
He’ll leave without warning
Do it again
He’ll do it again
Bb-B-C#, F# (chord)…Ebm…Bbm
Do it again…
