[verse (1)]
Am--i met a woman with Elips so red
Am--a face so lined like Espider webs
Am--i'll always remember theF things she Esaid
they were so wise, Amshe ope'd my eyes, and i'll Enever close again
Am--oh, how she sighed when she Estubbed her cigarette
Am--i felt compelled to enquireE of her success
Am--how do you do, how do you Fbe so in loveE with yourself?
tell me Fplease 'cause i need help
[chorus]
she said, every Amtime you are sucCceedin'
there's an Fold man somewhere Gseethin'
and Espite's as good a Dmreason to take his power (oh-Amoh-oh-oh)
when you Amhate the body Cyou are in
oh, Flove, you're actin' Gjust for him
as he Ecounts his gold and Dmgreen in his ivory tower (oh-Amoh-oh-oh)
our Amfear, it lines his Cpockets, love, so Ftake that rage and Gbottle up
and Eput a drop inDmto his cup of wine (oh-Amoh-oh-oh)
you Amdon't need him, you Cdon't need me
with that Fpoisoned bottle, Gyou'll be free
but be Edamn sure you don't Dmmix it up with mine (oh-Amoh-oh-oh)

Am--i met a young girl with Eeyes so bright

when you Amhate the body Cyou are in
oh, Flove, you're actin' Gjust for him
as he Ecounts his gold and Dmgreen in his ivory tower Am--
our Amfear, it lines his Cpockets, love, so Ftake that rage and Gbottle up
and Eput a drop inDmto his cup of wine Am--
you Amdon't need him, you Cdon't need me
with that Fpoisoned bottle, Gyou'll be free
but be Edamn sure you don't Dmmix it up with mine Am--
be Cdamn sure you don't mix it up with Fmine
