C
I'm aiming to please, oh yes, my aim is true
But you mess my arrangements and you run me through
G
Under the weather, under attack
C
Do everybody a favour, baby, cut me some slack

I know you know I'm addicted to you
And I do all I can, it's the best I can do
You bright as a bulb, you sharp as a tack
Do everybody a favour, baby, cut me some slack

F                 D#
Cut me some slack, cut me some slack
C
Do everybody a favour, baby, cut me some slack
F                 D#
Cut me some slack, cut me some slack
C
Do everybody a favour, baby, cut me some slack

Chorus:
    F                         C
So my time is your time, any time of the day
             F                            C
But there's no time for a fine time when you get
that way
    F                           C
We talked about talks, then we don't talk no more
     G
You talk a good game, but you're keeping the score
 C                                          A# C G C
Do everybody a favour, baby, cut me some slack

Do you remember or do you forget?
Is it something I done? Is it something I said?
A one a step forward, a two-step back
Do everybody a favour, baby, cut me some slack

Cracking the whip before you crack me up
Hereby, I'm serving notice, enough is enough
A win or a lose, a twist or a stack
Do everybody a favour, baby, cut me some slack

Chorus:
So my time is your time, any time of the day
But there's no time for a fine time when you get
that way
We talked about talks, then we don't talk no more
You talk a good game, but you're keeping the score
Do everybody a favour, baby, cut me some slack
Do everybody a favour, baby, cut me some slack

So my time is your time, any time of the day
But there's no time for a fine time when you get
that way
We talked about talks, then we don't talk no more
You talk a good game, but you're keeping the score
Do everybody a favour, baby, cut me some slack
Cut me some slack, cut me some slack
Cut me some slack, cut me some slack
Do everybody a favour, baby, cut me some slack
Do everybody a favour, baby, cut me some slack
