E       B            E           B     E
Well I never kept a dollar past sunset
B                E          B    E
Always burned a hole in my pants
B               E         B    E
Never made a school mama happy
B             E       B          E
Never blew a second chance on love

E        Esus4    E       Esus4 E
I need a love to keep me happy
E        Esus4    E       Esus4 E
I need a love to keep me happy
B  E   B            E
Baby, baby keep me happy
B  E   B            E
Baby, baby keep me happy

Always took candy from strangers
Didn’t wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss every night and day

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love, baby won’t you keep me happy
Baby, wont you keep me happy
Baby, please keep me

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy

Never got a flash out of cocktails
When I got some flesh off the bone
Never got a lift out of lear jets
When I can fly way back home

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
