Verse
Yea he gotta a letter from a friend of his
who's living in Amsterdam
He's got this woman who comes around a couple times a month
it's a lady her names Ann
Yea she pops up and down once or twice a month
it's all part of some brand new government plan
She said she doesn't think of herself as a prostitute
She's more of a healer-yea that's Ann

You gotta settle down

Can't you see what I mean?

And I'm sick and tired of this place

to determine what's out there for me

Am Em Dm G
And since I'm very good friends of his
