[Cm7] [F] [Cm7] [F]
[Bb] You should [Adim]stay away from [D7]roses
And be [Gm]careful to a[F#dim]void chocolate [Cm7]hearts
Keep distant [Ebm]from ro[D7]mantic [Cm]notions
?cause [Cm7]that's where [F]love most [Cm7]often [F]starts
Be sure to steer clear of diamonds
And mink coats are most certainly out too
For if she goes in for that kind of thing
She just might fall then what you will do
You [Fm7]know you've always been the [G]sort
Who's [Ebmaj7]truly only fond of the [Fm]sport
And [Ebm]who would [Bb7]never be satisfied
Re[Ebm]clining in [Bb7]slippers by the fireside
With a [F#]wife's constant [F#7]nagging
For [E]things that you can't pro[A]vide
Who [Abdim]no longer bears re[C#7]semblance
To that [F#m]soft spoken [E]flower
You were so [E7]desperate to have for your [D]brid[D/C#]e[B7]
Too much [Cm7]conversing with a [F]woman
Tends to [Cm7]dull a man's [F]wit
Never be taken in by poets
Who claim that love if it's pure will never fade
Though love may last all right in a bibliotheque
In the real world, man, it's too easily unmade
So don't take your freedom for granted
Don't let curiosity take you for a ride
As years drag on when you wake up next to her
You'll wish that in your sleep you had died
You'll wish you had died
[Cm7] [F] [Gdim] [Bb]
