FWhen Bshe said, "Don't Fwaste your wBords, they're just Flies," I Bcried she was dFeaf.
And she woBrked on my Fface until brBeaking my eyes,F Then said, "WhBat else you got lFeft?"
It was tAmihen that I got up to leave But she said, "Don't forget,Gmi
Ev'rybFody must gBive something backF For sBomething they get."F, Bb, F, Bb
FI stBood there and Fhummed, I taBpped on her Fdrum and Basked her how cFome.
And she Bbuttoned her Fboot, And strBaightened her suit,F Then she sBaid, "Don't get cFute."
So I Amiforced my hands in my pockets And felt with my thumbs,Gmi
And Fgallantly hBanded her MyF very lB, F, Bb, F, Bbast peice of gum.

And Bafter finding FI'd ForBgotten my shirt,F I weBnt back and knFocked.
I Amiwaited in the hallway, she went to get it, And I tried to make sense,Gmi
Out of that pFicture of Byou in your wheelFchair That leaB, F, Bb, F, Bbned up against...
FHer BJamaican Frum And wBhen she did cFome, I Basked her for soFme.
She Bsaid, "No, Fdear." I said, "YBour words aren't clear,F You'd better Bspit out your gFum."
She Amiscreamed till her face got so red, Then she fell on the floor,Gmi

And you, Byou took me Fin, YBou loved me then,F You Bdidn't waste tFime.
And I, I Bnever took Fmuch, I never aBsked for your crutch,F Now doBn't ask for mine.F, Bb, F
