C
I kn-kn-know a girl
     G             F             C
She gets what she wants all the time
            G  F
Cause shes fine
C                         G        F
But for an angel, shes a hot, hot mess
          C
Make you so blind
         G       F
But you dont mind

C
Cause shes an uptown,
            G         F    C     G  F
get-around, anything-goes girl, girl
         C
Shes a hardcore, candy-store,
 G       F          C     G   F
give-me-some-more girl, girl
                 C
She'll make you take her to the club,
              G               F
but then she leaves with her friends
              C
She likes to stay late at the party
           G        F
cause the fun never ends
              C
And all her clothes are on the floor,
              G             F
and all your records are scratched
            C
Shes like a one-way ticket cause you
 G          F
can’t come back

Chorus;
        C            G
Sayin yeah, and you want her
      F       C
But shes so mean
C                        G              F
(You’ll never let her go, why dont you let her go?)
 C             G
Yeah, and you want her
       F        C
But she’s so mean
C                        G              F
(You’ll never let her go, why dont you let her go?)

You kn-kn-know that if you don’t
shut your mouth, she’ll freak out
You better get your shit together,
‘cause she’s bringing you down now
Yeah boy you better, you better

Cause she's an uptown, get-around,
anything-goes girl, girl
She's a hardcore, candy-store,
gimme-some-more girl, girl

She’s got a wicked sense of humor,
can’t believe what she says
She drinks Bacardi in the morning
‘til it goes to her head
And all you want is just to hold her,
but she don’t go for that
She has a hard time coming when she can’t hit back

Chorus

Am
Every now and then she makes you just
               C
a little bit crazy
Am
She’ll turn the knife into your back
                             F
and then she’s calling you ‘baby’
  Dm  C
Crazy

She'll make you take her to the club,
but then she leaves with her friends
She likes to stay late at the party,
cause the fun never ends
And all her clothes are on the floor
and all your records are scratched
She's like a one-way ticket cause you
can't come back

Chorus

Yeah man, I know how you want her (how you want her)
Yeah man, I know how you want her (how you want her)
Yeah man, I know how you want her
But she's so mean
(You'll never let her go, why don't you let her go?)
