[Verse 1]
G5                   Ab5
Momma's little jewel just out of school

Bb5                      C5
Fresh from the nuns that made you

G5                 Ab5
Don't know why but I'm going to try

   Bb5       C5
To re-in-celibate you
[Verse 2]
G5                   Ab5
Momma's little jewel you got the rules

    Bb5                   C5
But I'll be the one to educate you

G5                Ab5
Take what's mine, take a little time

    Bb5                      C5
And don't bite the hand that makes you
[Chorus]
C5          F5
True when I hold you near well I'm

C5          F5
Caught even when I'm on the road well I'm

C5         F5
Wearing my scorpio faces when I

C5          F5
Come in the midnight sun
[Verse 3]
G5              Ab5
  What you want, I can't buy

   Bb5                  C5
So why don't you try it my way

G5                  Ab5
  What you look for ain't in the book

    Bb5                   C5
But I'm going to show you someday
[Chorus]
C5           F5
Laugh in the evening when I

C5                F5
Catch you with my watering gun when I

C5         F5
Wearing my scorpio faces when I

C5          F5
Come in the midnight sun
[Verse 4]
G5             Ab5
You won't rise you won't shine

Bb5            C5
You won't even try boys

G5                   Ab5
You've got brains if you love changes

Bb5                      C5
You'll have to play with my toys

G5                    Ab5
Momma's little jewel, such a little fool

Bb5                          C5
Thinks she can learn all the answers

G5                      Ab5
She don't want to feel, she just want to steal

Bb5                    C5
Don't want to take any chances
