RIFF 1 – to the end and fade out

It’s like I said, man
Ain’t nothin’ but a woman

I’m tryin to tell yea

Yeah, look at her

And that one over there

ENJOY…………

When I first met you, baby
Weren’t you a sweet, little thing
Worked my fool head off
Just to buy that diamond ring
Now things are kind of funny
You know the way it goes
Now you want to put that ring
Right on through my nose
You put me through the grinder
And I kept coming back for more
Now all I want to see of you
