AA

                 F7
Well, I'm stranded in the city that never sleeps

Some of these women they just give me the creeps

I'm avoiding the south side the best I can

These memories I got they can strangle a man
           Bb7
Well, I came ashore in the dead of the night
                            F7
Lot of things can get in the way when you're trying to do what's right.

                 C7
        You don't understand it, my feeling for you
                          F7
        You'd be honest with me if you only knew.


I'm not sorry for nothing I've done
I'm glad I fought, I only wish we'd won
The Siamese twins are coming to town
People can't wait, they've gathered around
When I left my home the sky split open wide
I never wanted to go back there, I'd rather have died.

        You don't understand it, my feeling for you
        You'd be honest with me if only you knew.

My woman got a face like a Teddy Bear
She's tossing a baseball bat in the air
The meat is so tough you can't cut it with a sword
I'm crashing my car trunk first into the board
You say that my eyes are pretty and my smile is nice
Well, I'd sell it to you at a reduced price.

        You don't understand it, my feeling for you
        You'd be honest with me if only you knew.

Some things are too terrible to be true,
I won't come here no more if it bothers you.
There's a Southern Pacific leaving at 9:45
I'm having a hard time, believing some people were ever alive 
I'm stark naked but I don't care
I'm going off into the woods, and I'm huntin' bear.

        You don't understand it, my feeling for you
        Well, you'd be honest with me if only you knew.

I'm here to create the new imperial empire
I'm gonna do whatever circumstances require
I care so much for you I didn't think I could
I can't tell my heart that you're no good
Well, my parents, they warned me not to waste my years
And I still got their advice oozing out of my ears.

        You don't understand it, my feeling for you
        Well, you'd be honest with me if only you knew.
