(Ron Elliot)

Intro:
G# G#maj7 G#7 G#maj7 [E]
Xx65xx xx55xx xx45xx xx55xx

Xx64xx xx54xx xx44xx xx54xx
Verse 1:
G#m C#m [Em Am]
I hate to say it but I told you so
G#m C#m [Em Am]
Don’t mind my preaching to you
G#m C#m B [Em Am G]
I said «don’t trust him», baby, now you know
E A B E [C F G C]
You don’t learn everything there is to know in school
Wouldn’t believe me when I gave advice
I said that he was a tease
If you want help you better ask me nice
So be sincere, convince me with a «pretty please»
Chorus:
F# B [D G]
Laugh Laugh, I thought I’d die
E A [C F]
It seemed so funny to me,
D G [Bb Eb]
Laugh Laugh, you met a guy
C B [Ab G]
Who taught you how it feels to be
E A E A E A E A [C F C F]
Lonely, oh so lonely
Verse 2:
Don’t think I’m being funny when I say
You got just what you deserve
I can’t help feeling you found out today
You thought you were too good you had a lot of nerve
Won’t say I’m sorry for the things I said
I’m glad he packed up to go
You kept on bragging he was yours instead
Found you don’t know everything there is to know
[repeat chorus]
Instrumental break [play 2X]:
G# G#maj7 G#7 G#maj7 [E]
Xx65xx xx55xx xx45xx xx55xx
Verse 3:
Before I go I’d like to say one thing
Don’t close your ears to me
Take my advice and you’ll find out that being
Just another girl won’t cause you misery
You say you can get any boy at your call
Don’t be so smug or else
You’ll find you can’t get any boy at all
You’ll wind up an old lady sitting on the shelf
[repeat chorus]
Coda (original 45 fades out; most CD reissues end cold on E):
E A E A E A E A [C F C F]
Lonely, oh so lonely
