 C
Woman help me, you turn my head in circles
Mama blessed me, with magnet eyes for purple
F                                C
Oh so let me show you something good

Pastor, Preacher, I want to say I'm sorry
Nice to meet ya, I think my eyes are starry
Pledge allegiance to my only

Chorus:
 C                 G
Sooner or later it all comes around
Am                     F
Hopefully then I will see
C                      G
After the people and places are gone
 Am                  F
You will come back, you will
              C      G     Am
Come back to me, to me, to me
 F                     C      G     Am F
You will come back to me, to me, to me

Auntie Mara, I think you know my reasons
I was a product of everything in season
Oh so heavy, set me free again

Oh my papa, if all the world could know you
You could stop a thousand wars across the globe
Oh I miss ya', show them something good

Chorus
