[C]You[F] ca[C]n't[F] ho[C]ld a ma[G]n[C]
by try[F]ing to put chains on him
You can't [C]hold a man
by try[F]ing to stake a claim on him
You can't [C]keep his love
by sneak[F]ing and peeping on him
[C]Girls, [F]take it from [C]me,
you've got [G]to [C]let that [F]man feel [C]free[Eb]
[Bb]You can't keep his love,
[F]on the lock and key
[Am]Cause you're only pushin'
your [Dm]barber
[Em]out [F]in the s[G]treet
You can't hold a [C]man
by [F]trying to put chains on him
You can't [C]hold a man
by try[F]ing to stake a claim on him
You got [C]to make him [F]feel at [C]ease
[G]Don't kill your [C]love with [F]jealousy
[C]Just give tha[G]t man,[C]
[F]give him what he need[C]s
You won't have to worry
[F]when he [C]leaves[Eb]
[Bb]Tryin' to tie him down
[F]Can't be your worst mistake
[Am]Oh, the man is gonna do
what he [Dm]wants [Em]to[F]
Any[G]way
You can't hold a [C]man
by trying [F]to put chains on him
You can[C]'t hold a man
by trying [F]to stake a claim on him
You can[C]'t [F]hold a [C]man
by sneaking [G]his peeping on him
[C]You can't [F]hold a [C]man
by trying to stake a claim on [G]him
[C]You can't [F]hold a [C]man
by putting chains on him
You can't [F]hold a [C]man
You ain't gonna hold your man
[G]You [C]can't [F]hold a [C]man
Let your man be free
[G]You [C]can't [F]hold a [C]man
Let your man do what he want
You can't [F]hold a man
[C]You can't hold him with jealousy
[G]You [C]can't [F]hold a [C]man
You can't hold a man
[F]Girls
You [C]see, I made the mistake
of being too jealous
and over -possessive [F]with my man.
[C]And you know what?
I drove him right into the
arms of [F]another one.
[C]I didn't want to let him out of my sight.
[F]I wanted to be w[C]ith him day and night.
[F]Every place [C]he went,
I wanted to go.
Everything he [F]did, I wanted to [C]know
So if you got a good [F]man
and you treat him this [C]way
You bet[G]ter stop [C]and think about it
be[F]fore it's too late
Because [C]I'm here to tell you [Am]to night
That you [C]can't [F]hold a [C]man
Oh, I'm living with this tonight
[C]I c[F]an [C]stand here and
testify this evening
[F]See, [C]tried it one time,
I know it won't work
