1. Hey girl, I betcha, there's someone out to get you,

A

    you'll find him anywhere, on a bus, in a bar, in a grocery store.

C                                      - D                                D7                  C

    He'll say, "Excuse me,      haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

A

    he'll say he needs you, a companion, a girl he can talk to.

C                                        - D                                      D7     C

    He's made up his mind,       he needs someone to sock it to.

A

    come up to my place, for some coffee, or tea, or me.

C                                                        - D                                D7C

    He's got you where he wants you,      girl you gotta face reality.
