Chorus:
C
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
D
You got to be startin' somethin'
C
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
D
You got to be startin' somethin'
C
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
D
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
C
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
D
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
C
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
D
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
C
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
D
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
C
I took my baby to the doctor
D
With a fever, but nothing he found
C
By the time this hit the street
D
They said she had a breakdown
C
Someone's always tryin'
D
To start my baby cryin'
C
Talkin', squealin', lyin'
D
Sayin' you just wanna be startin' somethin'
Chorus
C
You love to pretend that you're good
D
When you're always up to no good
C
You really can't make him hate her
D
So your tongue became a razor
C
Someone's always tryin'
D
To keep my baby cryin'
C
Treacherous, cunnin', declinin'
D
You got my baby cryin'
Chorus
