Verse 1:
Em9 A13
Baby's into runnin' 'round, hangin' with the crowd
Em9 A13
Puttin' your business in the street, talkin' out loud
Em9 A13
Sayin' he's bought her this and that and how much you done spent
Em9 A13
I swear she must believe it's all heaven-sent
Em9 A13
Hey boy, you better bring the chick around
Em9 A13
To the sad, sad truth, the dirty lowdown
Em9 A13 Em9 A13
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wonder-wonder-wonder-wonder who)
Taught her how to talk like that
Em9 A13 Em9 A13
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wonder-wonder-wonder-wonder who)
Gave her that big idea

Verse 2:
Nothin' you can't handle, nothin' you ain't got
Put your money on the table and drive it off the lot
Turn on that old lovelight, turn a maybe to a yes
Same old schoolboy game got you into this mess
Hey son, you better get on back to town
Face the sad old truth, the dirty lowdown
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wonder-wonder-wonder-wonder who)
Put those ideas in your head
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wonder-wonder-wonder-wonder who)

Verse 3:
You ain't got to be bad, got to be cold
This dog-eat-dog business is surely gettin' old
Got to have a jones for this, jones for that
This runnin' with the joneses, boy, it just ain't where it's at
You gonna come back around
To the sad, sad truth, the dirty lowdown
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wonder-wonder-wonder-wonder who)
Got you thinkin' like that
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wonder-wonder-wonder-wonder who)
