Am     Em Am      F G
Hey baby, listen up
I'm not in love with you
You keep runnin' off at the mouth
And someone else can scratch my back
And I could care less about your legs
I just wanna see 'em walk all over me

Chorus:
G                          F G
I'm runnin' out of patience
G                            F G
And I ain't gonna say it twice
G                                     F G
The world out there is down'n dirty, honey
G                        F G
And I just hate to be nice

So don't think about movin' any closer, baby
Just forget about it
You body may be a weapon on legs
But hey, I'm not fallin' for that
Don't you get it, I'm not impressed at all
I just wanna see you crawl all over me

Chorus

Don't you understand
Don't you understand

Tell me when your eyes say yes
How can your lips say no
A girl like you shouldn't be surprised
It's just I hate to be nice

Chorus
