Intro: E Em X4



E             Em
I had a friend one time, at least I thought he was my friend
E             Em

For he came to me, said "I ain't got no place to go"
E             Em

I said "take it easy man, you can come home to my house,
E             Em

I'll get you a pillow where you can rest your head"
E             Em

Took him home with me, let him in my house,
E             Em

Let him drive my Cadillac that I could not afford
E             Em

When I found out he'd been messin' around with my baby



E             Em

You know I'm mad like Al Capone (I'm burnin' up)
E             Em

I said I'm mad (I'm burnin' up)
E             Em
Like Sonny Liston yeah (I'm burnin' up)
E             Em
You know baby I'm mad (I'm burnin' up)
E             Em

E             Em

Took him home with me, introduced him to my baby,
E             Em

He began to talk to her, made her think the moon was blue
E             Em

E             Em

E             Em

I don't know what I'm gonna do to you
E             Em
