[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
So you [C]think I'm a girl you'd
[B]like [Cdim]to meet[Bm]
Because I look good [Esus4]enough to[E] eat?[Am]
I don't mean to stay inside
that [B]heart[Em]
There's a world that we desire
[E]Seeking out the star that's higher

[Verse 2]
[Am]Johnny, now you're the [D]honey
trapped in my [Bm]tree
[E]You should have known better
[Am]Should have [C]known better,
[D]messing with love's queen [Bm]bee
Don't [E]mess with the messer
[B]I ain't sugar, I ain't s[Em]pice[G]
I'm [A]laying everything [Am]all [C]nice
I can be as cold as ice
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]
Well hello, you're Johnny's [B]friend,
aren't [Cdim]you?[D][Bm]
He sent you to see me
He was a [Esus4]good worker for [E]this
queen [Em]bee[Am]
[C]Anyway, I [Am]have something I'll [B]give
[Em]If it's a working man's de[E]sire

[Verse 4]
Boy, are you gonna be tired
[Am]Johnny, now [C]you're all [D]trapped
in my honeycomb
[Bm]You [E]should have known better
[Am]Should have known [C]better,
[D]leaving queen bee [Bm]alone
Don't [E]mess with the messer
[B]I ain't sugar, I ain't s[Em]pice
I'm [A]laying everything all [Am]nice
[C]I can be as cold [D]as ice
