She says [Am]nobody has to know
But [Bm]I got to let her go

[Verse 4]

Trying to lure [Am]me in between
[G]the[Am] sheets
But I'm a [C]man and I still [Em]get week
But I'll be damned if I loose my [Am]girl
I'll be [C]damned if I don't touch [Em]her
Curiosity it killed the [Am]cat
Oh and [G]I don't want t[Am]hat ([C]so)

[Verse 6]
[C]Over and [Em]over and over again
