 G                     Em
You're so hot teasing me
 G         C           G/B
So you're blue, but I can't
         Am          G         D
Take a chance on a chick like you,
                           G
It's something I couldn't do.

  G                       Em
There's that look in your eyes,
G      C            G/B
I can read in your face
           Am            G          D
That your feelings are driving you wild, ah.
                          G
But girl, you're only a child.

Chorus:
             C               Csus4
Well, I can dance with you, honey,
C                  Csus4
If you think it's funny,
 C                                G
Does your mother know that you're out?

              C             Csus4
And I could chat with you, baby,
  C             Csus4
Flirt a little maybe,
 C                                G
Does your mother know that you're out?

        G
Take it easy (Take it easy),
         C/G       Cm/G
Better slow down, girl,
           G      Cm/G
That's no way to go.
            G       Cm/G
(Does your mother know?)

        G
Take it easy (Take it easy),
        C/G      Cm/G
Try to cool it, girl,
         G        Cm/G
Play it nice and slow.
            G       Cm/G
(Does your mother know?)

G                   Em
I can see what you want
 G       C           G/B
But you seem pretty young
       Am             G           D
To be searching for that kind of fun,
                     G
So maybe I'm not the one.

     G                            Em
Now you're so cute, I like your style
G       C            G/B
And I know what you mean
          Am         G             D
when you give me a flash of that smile.
                          G
But girl, you're only a child.

Chorus

        G
Take it easy (Take it easy),
         C/G       Cm/G
Better slow down, girl,
           G      Cm/G
That's no way to go.
            G       Cm/G
(Does your mother know?)

        G
Take it easy (Take it easy),
        C/G      Cm/G
Try to cool it, girl,
         G        Cm/G
Play it nice and slow.
            G       Cm/G
(Does your mother know?)
