A                            D      E      A                  D    E
Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain

A                D     A                                    D                   E
It was a kind of so-so love and I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen again

A        D            E  A                    D       E
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year

You were a run-around,    a lost and found and not for me, I feel
[Chorus]
D          A   E    C#m   D     E
Take your hands off me,  hee   ey

D   F#m     A    C#m          D               E
I  don't belong   to you, you see ee  ee  ee  ay

D  F#m  A         C#m  D                     E
Take a look in my face   for the last  time

F#m                A
I  never knew you, you never knew me

[Verse 2]
A                        D                  E
We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt

A                         D              E
And me in a suit, but it just wasn't me

                           D                         E
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess

A               D     E
So insecure you see

A                              D
Well I've put up with all the scenes

D                E            A                    D       E
and this is one scene that's going to be played my way
[Chorus]
D     E   A      C#m          D    E
Take your hands     off me,   hee  ey

D  C#m      A     C#m        D    E
I  don't belong to you, you see

D       A         C#m            D         E
Take a look in my face for the last time

Under the deep red lights I can see the makeup sliding down

A                             D           E
Well hey little girl you will always make up

A               D            E
So take off that unbecoming frown

A              D                  E      A                         D     E
As for me, well, I'll find someone who's not going cheap in the sales

A                              D              E
A nice little housewife who'll give me the steady life

    A             D         E
And not keep going off the rails
[Chorus]
D    F#m  A      C#m     D      E
Take your hands off me, hee_____ey

F#m         A     C#m      D       E
I don't belong to you, you see

Take  a look in my face for the last time

I never knew you, you never knew me

Say hello and wave goodbye eye eye eye

           A         D        E       A
Wave goodbye, say hello and wave goodbye

A     D                    E     D      E      A      D    E     A    D    E    A

A                        F#m
We were born before the whale

A                  D        E
Who are we to understand

Say goodbye

Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow
