Please mister can you help me try to find my baby's house —
C              G               D        G
It's 3 in the morning and it's pourin' rain.
C                G         D            G
I can't find the house and I forgot the number,

But I gotta give her these roses to relieve her pain

So we fight, but we fight every evening,

Me and my lover been in bed all day
C          G               D         G

Love her so much, wish she'd just go away
