Ab                                                         Bb 
Late on Tuesday evening such a com-motion in the street 
Abm                                          Bb 
Someone broke a window and someone's head got beat 
Abm                                    Bb 
A  wave of breaking bottles crashed across the city street 
Abm                                           G 
and someone got arrested for a breach of the peace 
                       Cm  Ab            Bb   
If you wanna walk, don't talk, do it 
                      Cm  Ab                Bb 
If you wanna earn, learn how to do it 
                            Cm  Ab            Bb 
And if you wanna ride, don't hide, do it 
                      Cm   Ab           Bb 
If you wanna stay, don't say, prove it 
How much longer you gonna sit and talk to me? 
You've got so many problems and a split personality 
You want to see a doctor before our love is tested 
How much longer? A man could get arrested 
 
Chorus 
 
You got your health, you got everything, that's what my doctor said 
You may not have much cash but you've got a roof over your head 
Of course I said I loved you not just 'cause you insisted 
How much longer? A man could get arrested 
 
Chorus 
 
Cm                  Bb                 Cm    Cm Bb 
Oh babe, why don't we do it now?  
         Abm 
Do it now 
Cm                  Bb                 Cm    Cm Bb 
Oh babe, why don't we do it now?  
         Abm 
Do it now 
         Abm 
Do it now?
