G 
Said you would be mine and treat me right 
                   C                      G 
You said you would love me the rest of my life 
        D7                C           G 
But you went back on your word little girl 

You said you would never tell me a lie 
                   C                         G 
But you broke your promise you're telling me why 
    D7                C           G 
You went back on your word little girl 

C 
When you were here by my side  
  G 
I thought that you would stay beside 
  C                             G 
I know how to play that game on me 
C 
I don't know why you changed your mind 
    G 
But I know that you wrap-a me inside 
  A7                             D7 
I did everything that you ask of me 

G 
Now that you have left me  

And left me and left me what can I say 
            C                        G 
But I still love you in the same old way 
    D7                    C           G 
But you went back on your word little girl
