VERSE:
D                                                 Bm
Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl than to be with another man.
D                                           Bm
You better keep your head, little girl or I won't know where I am.


CHORUS:
           Bm                       E
You better run for your life if you can, little girl,
Bm                    E
Hide your head in the sand, little girl.
Bm                     G   F#7        Bm                D
Catch you with another man that’s the end, little girl

VERSE:
Well you know that I’m a wicked guy 
And I was born with a jealous mind.
And I can spend my whole life tryin' just to make you toe the line.

Let this be a sermon, I mean everything I said
