A       D      A   C A      D          A   C
You've got my number, you know what I need
And I go crazy whenever I bleed
Won't you come over? I swear I'll be nice
My girlfriend told me that you'd left your wife

Chorus:
      E         A           E            G
I'll learn to bribe, I'll learn to say please
Oh, won't you lick the pavement for me?
I'll learn to bribe, I'll learn to say please
I like you best when you're on your knees

I know you're lonely, 'cause you're just like me
Why don't you call me? You know where I'll be
